My grandson asked why I always put the car keys in my purse but search for them in my coat pocket

"Well dear," I said, patting his little head, "it's called strategic placement."

He blinked at me. "But Nan, you know they're in your purse."

"Of course I do, lovey. That's exactly why I check my coat pocket first — to give the keys time to think about what they've done."

Punchline

"Plus, the coat pocket search buys me three extra minutes before carpool. It's called time management, sweetheart."
