DF just walked into the living room, frowning slightly. “Can you call my phone?” he asked his wife. I’d seen his phone, I remembered seeing it on the kitchen counter. Looked a lot like my phone, similar size, black-bordered case like mine, I’d looked at it and remembered it wasn’t my phone, at least once. (Among other things, his is an iPhone, and my case has a gold back and his is black all the way across.)
MM, who was holding her phone, complied.
I was sitting on the other couch. Suddenly, my hip began ringing loudly. “I’m sitting on it?” I said, astonished. I groped for it. it was in my pocket.
“I stole your phone,” I said, pulling out a phone in a case that looked like mine but had, on the lit-up screen, an image of MM smiling.
Clearly, I’d seen it again, and this time hadn’t engaged the critical part of my mind that earlier had been like “yes the front of the case looks like mine but the back does not and also i know my phone is in the living room”.
I have no memory of picking up his phone whatsoever. Fortunately, everyone thought this was hilarious, especially the children.
