Man these posts from the last couple of days, SO familiar!!!!!
Although this did NOT happen to me, it happened to my very NON-ADHD father.
My mother had a 1960 Plymouth Valiant (this was in about 1970) and my father had a 1964 Rambler.
Mom had her keys, Dad had his.
Dad was making a trip to town, and as often happened, asked if I wanted to go along. YEAH, love to. So we hop into Mom’s car, get to town, do our shopping, and Dad digs into his pocket and pulls out keys. He’s looking for his car as he had his keys in his hands. We looked and looked and where we thought he’d parked HIS car, there was Mom’s car.
Total confusion, what the heck happened – this means Dad has lost the keys to Mom’s car as all he can find are his keys to his car.
We thought and talked it out, pieced things together (remember, I’m ADHD, and poor memory, I’d frankly not recall which car we’d taken)
Finally we figured it out, and were correct. We got into Mom’s car, he used his Rambler keys in her ignition switch, and it started……… and we drove home. He was so used to taking his car he instinctively grabbed his car keys and we hopped into Mom’s car instead for whatever reason… and driven her car to town with his keys.
We thought we were going crazy for a while there……..
