missing...found it!

the morning show I listen to on my drive in to work, told a hilarious story this morning. 
It was a story about one of them, Jim, who had lost a letter that he needed. His wife, Mimi, said, I gave it to you. Jim said, what did I do with it? Mimi said, beats me, but it was in a white envelope with blue writing on it. She told him that several times while he searched and searched and searched. After about an hour, he gave up and asked her to please help him find it. She went directly to his desk and found it within a few minutes. Jim said, he had taken the letter out of the envelope before putting it in his mail holder. And even though he looked at it several times while he was moving things around, he was looking for a white envelope with blue writing on it, so he didn't notice it.  
Seriously??
Naturally, all the women had to chime in  with, why is it so hard for men to find things????
That made me think about the countless times that this has happened in our house. There was the time when I responded, it's on the 3rd shelf in the pantry and my guy opened the pantry and promptly said, I don't see it. Then I heard him move a few cans around and say, no it isn't. So of course I got up, went to the pantry, moved ONE can and wallah! I know this happens in your house too. What is that? It's funny now because I don't do it anymore - if he can't find it, oh well. But when I used to get up and look for the missing thing myself, it was SO frustrating! I think it's simply because we, women, have just spoiled them. Listen here peeps...STOP IT! You aren't doing them any favors! In another 10 years you're really just going to want to smack them upside there handsome heads!!! They are supposed to be hunters for heaven's sake!
