I’ve searched everywhere – in the office, in the bedroom, in the bathroom and the living room. I’ve looked in the kitchen, in the garage and in the car. I even looked in the garden. I can’t find them anywhere! They disappeared!”
John’s wife looked at him with a smile, and said “Dear, your glasses are on your forehead!”
John turned red for a moment, then smiled. He took his glasses off his forehead and put them on.
“Thank you, dear”, said John, and kissed his wife on the cheek.
Now that he found his glasses, he could continue living his simple life.
