PRAYERS TO SAINT Anthony are commonplace among Irish mammies.
In fact, we’re so prone to losing things that they’re probably said every day.
Here are 11 things that inspire such desperate pleas for help by consistently disappearing when we need them:
The car keys
Meanwhile…
The house keys
There’s nothing quite like being locked out with no sign of the neighbours.
The scissors
The remote
Your phone
And if it isn’t the mobile it’s the portable house phone that’s grown legs and gone for a walk.
Your passport
It’s the night before your big trip and you’re all packed but your passport is nowhere to be found.
“Why didn’t you look for it before now?”
Change for the bus
A bobbin/bobble/hair tie
Hair clips and hair pins are repeat offenders too.
A pen
Be it during a phone call, when you need to jot down the Lotto numbers, while studying or when you run into your idol on the street and they’re willing to sign an autograph.
That other sock
The sticky tape
