When she realised that the box was full, she took some tape and tape the lid shut11. She took the box into the dining area and sat the box in a chair. Then, she went into the kitchen to fix supper for her husband.

As she was preparing supper, the doorbell rang. There stood her puppy love. She could not turn him away, as they were friends now.

He walked into the dining area and looked at the box in the chair. He picked it up and shook it. He asked her, "What's in the box?"

"My box of memories," she answered.

"Can I look in it?" he asked.

"Sure, but don't spill12 anything."

He opened the box and it was empty. Either I am blind or she is going insane. He looked at her and said, "There is nothing in here."

She turned toward him, with her hands on her hips, and said, "Well, does that tell you something? It means that you were not in my thoughts long enough to be in my memories."
