Once, in Panda Express, while I was enjoying a meal
brimming with flavor, I noticed a teenage couple sitting nearby. One of them
had laid their wallet on their food tray and apparently forgot about it because
when they left and proceeded to tidy up their table, the wallet was dumped into
the trash along with the rest of their meal debris. The pair then exited the
restaurant.
My friend exclaimed, “Hey! He just threw his wallet in the
trash!”
Soon after, the teenage duo raced back into the restaurant, panic etched across their faces. The boy, in a moment of brilliant deduction, glanced at the trash can but decided he wasn't the wallet-in-the-trash kind of guy.
Looking back, maybe I should have told them their wallet was in the trash, but, in the moment, I let fate take its course.
The moral of the story? Life's got a twisted sense of humor,
and sometimes, wallets just need a little adventure in the trash can.
