At the yard sale last week, I put a stack of CDs in a small plastic tote. I didn't expect anyone to be interested.
Things got busy with the selling and answering questions, and I noticed a few people walking around with a couple of CDs. Finally, I saw a man carrying around the whole box. Two thoughts came so closely together that I don't know which was first.
One thought was: Wow, I didn't realize those would be so popular; I should have put a price on them.
The second thought was: I don't think I put the lid for the box out there. Now I have an extra lid!
Even though that was 5 days ago, that thought still plagues me. I'm going to have to collect the boxes at some point. Boxes with no lids, or lids with no boxes ... How can a person live with such asymmetry?
