A Tissue Full Of Earrings In A Hair Clasp

Yesterday morning when I arrived at work I realized I had forgotten to put on my earrings. I know this is no emergency, but when you normally wear earrings everyday you feel really naked when they're not there. I would usually never call Saeed (who was still home) to bring me a pair of earrings since it's a trivial matter, but I knew he would be driving very close to my office on his way to work and he's always so sweet about these sorts of things.

So, let me preface anything I say with the statement that Saeed, in his generous way, agreed to go back upstairs into my jewelry box and bring me a pair of earrings on his way to work. I gave him specific and clear instructions about where to find a suitable pair that I'm allowed to wear at work. I explained, "Go to the front left square and find the silver earrings. Choose any pair that match."

Here is my jewelry box. Notice the earrings in the multi-squared tray, and notice the front left tray with only silver earrings. Now, I realize there are a lot of earrings in those twelve squares. This is why I said "front left square," rather than "the third one from the left in the back" or whatever. I didn't really need only silver earrings, I just knew this was the simplest direction I could give.

A couple of hours later while I'm working with the doctor I get paged overhead to the phone. Saeed tells me he's about to turn onto my street, so I run out the back door and stand there for about four minutes. Finally he pulls up with a big grin on his face and hands me this bundle:

Sorry it's out of focus, but it's a tissue full of earrings held in a hair clasp. Interesting packaging but it does the trick. I thank him, open the tissue and this ...

... is what I see:

1) on top are a pair of pink dangling globes obtained from the previously mentioned square "third one from the left in the back". The wires are in fact silver; I'll give him that.
2) large peace earrings with blue rimmed peace doves on left. Ahem. I only wear these at Halloween when I'm dressing up like a hippi. Found in the back row.
3) dangling left and right hemisphere earrings on right. Not from the front left square. Not silver. They are in fact gold.
4) at the bottom are a pair of blue spheres. These came from the square to the right of the "front left square" with all the other colored spheres. I could have worn them but we wear a certain uniform color every day and yesterday we were wearing Hunter green.

Naturally, being married to a prankster, I laughed and said "Very funny. Ok, now give me the silver ones you're hiding from me." Sighhhh.............. Oh well, I guess naked ears aren't the worst thing in the world. I gave him a kiss, thanked him again, and sent him home with a tissue full of earrings in a hair clasp. Gotta love him.
