One of my mother’s favorite sayings when something was lost was, “It’s always the last place you look.”
It’s funny, I suppose. I say it myself these days.
But it’s really NOT funny when you’ve lost something and looked EVERYWHERE. This has been the case for me this past week. I lost my new glasses. I have looked everywhere.
Everywhere.
And yet my mother keeps whispering in my ear, “Keep looking. It’s always the last place you look.”
Not helpful.
This post is brought to you by Linda Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday for which the prompt was “favorite saying“.
Hot Dogs and Marmalade 
There was a comedian who based part of his act on that line. He’d always end by saying “Of course it’s the last place you look. Who’d keep looking one they find it?!”
Good luck finding your glasses.
Sally, I feel you! My mother always intoned “If it was a snake, it would have bitten you” I suppose that’s due to walking past the missing object and still not finding it! My sister once was in tears because she couldn’t find her shoes – she was wearing them!! For awhile afterward my mother would ask her if she was wearing (insert missing item)!
