I had a small wrench that I knew I had when I was last working on the air conditioning.
I always did my own maintenance on the air conditioning unit, and I couldn’t understand where I would have put the wrench.
I looked outside to make sure I had left the wrench laying on or near the AC unit. I had already torn everything out of my toolbox, in an effort to find the wrench. I kept going over the entire day when I had done the maintenance on the AC unit. I remembered using my screwdriver and wrench to get inside the AC unit. I had removed the nuts so I could clean the fan blades. I had used the wrench to replace the fan. I remembered putting the wrench on the ground when I was putting everything back together. I just couldn’t remember what I had done with the wrench after that. I went over the same scenario every time, and I was at a loss when it came to where I had put the wrench when I closed up the air conditioning unit. I was getting ready to open the AC unit to see if it was inside when my young son asked what I was doing. I told him I had lost my wrench. He went into the house and brought out his toy tool kit. I thought he was going to offer me his wrench, but he gave me mine. I asked where he had found it, and he said he saw it sitting on the ground. He had washed it and kept the wrench for when I needed it again.
