Internal monologue

(inspired by yesterday's xkcd)

Where did I just put that phone?  I hung up from talking with Teri . . . started walking upstairs . . . grabbed the frozen chicken along the way that I got out to thaw while I was talking with her . . . walked into the kitchen . . . unwrapped the chicken and put it on the counter . . . walked into the dining room and realized I didn't take care of the phone . . . Hmm, I don't remember putting it down, but it would have had to have been on one of the counters . . . Nope, not there . . . maybe I left it downstairs, set it down before I shut off the tv she left on? . . . no, no sign of it there, either . . . I remember putting it on the cradle before I called her, but not after . . . let me walk back into the kitchen . . . No, it isn't on the counters . . . Oh, there it is, on the cradle after all . . .  that's odd, I don't remember walking over and putting it there . . . I wonder if there are any notifications on my cell phone . . . Nope . . . wait . . . 

That's right, I talked to her on my cell!
