Lost your keys Andrea certainly did And today he shares his desperate yet hilarious treasure hunt Let’s see if he finds them Hi My name is Andrea and I live alone in a small apartment Today I have a small problem—or maybe a big one I need to go to work but I’ve lost my keys Yes I know it can happen But I must have lost them inside the house They were on the shelf—I'm certain of it Or maybe on the table Or in the jacket Who knows—maybe I'm not so sure after all I start searching I open every drawer I check under the cushions I even look through the trash Yes in the trash Maybe I threw them away by mistake Who knows I feel like a detective A detective Tired and with little patience Check the bathroom Nothing Check the laundry basket I finally found the sock I'd been looking for three months At least one piece of good news I start to sweat I glance at my watch I'm already fifteen minutes late I talk to myself The keys are at home they couldn't have vanished Then the cat walks past me I watch him He watches me He looks innocent Too innocent You know something don’t you He yawns and licks his paw Tell me right away where the keys are please Then I see my vacuum robot Did it maybe suck up the keys I think so I lift it up and check the container Dust Hair A one-cent coin but no keys So I call my mom I didn’t know what else to do She answers You lost the keys How could you do that I'll come over right away and find them Mom don’t mess with me I’m already late for work Did you check behind the sofa Yes In the laundry basket Also possible Then I don't know my love Once I was looking for the saltshaker while cooking I looked everywhere and you know where it was Where In the fridge I'm stopping Wait It's not that I rush into the kitchen open the fridge and there they are— the keys right next to the butter Mom… how did we end up here I take them sigh and smile Thank you Mom You're a magician I told you so Moms have a sixth sense She laughed You're absolutely right Where did you initially think you left the keys What does Andrea find in the laundry basket How does the cat react when Andrea looks at it Hi my name is Andrea and I live alone in a small apartment Today I have a small problem Or perhaps a big one We need to go to work but I've lost the keys Yes I know It can happen But I I lost them inside the house They were on the shelf I'm certain of it Or perhaps on the table Or in the jacket Boh maybe I'm not so sure after all I start searching I open every drawer I check under the cushions I even look through the trash Yes in the trash Maybe I threw them away by mistake Who knows I feel like a detective A detective Very tired And with little patience Checking the bathroom Nothing Checking the laundry basket Nothing I finally found the sock I'd been looking for three months At least one good piece of news I'm starting to sweat I check my watch I'm already fifteen minutes late I'm speaking to myself Andrea calm down The keys are at home They couldn't have vanished Then the cat walks past me I look at him He looks at me It seems innocent Too innocent You know something don't you He yawns and licks his paw Tell me right away where the keys are please And then I see my vacuum robot Did he perhaps suck in the keys I think so I lift it up and check the container Dust Hair A penny but no keys So I called my mom I didn 't know what else to do She replies You lost the keys How could you do that I' ll come over there and find them right away Mom don’t mess with me I’m already late for work Did you check behind the couch Yes In the laundry basket Also I don't know my love I used to look for the salt while cooking I searched everywhere You know where it was In the fridge I'm stopping Wait It's not that Cook in the kitchen Open the refrigerator There they are The keys Next to the butter How did we end up here I take it sigh and smile Thank you Mom You're a wizard I told you Moms have a sixth sense She laughed You're absolutely right
