Carol Perkins: The Perfectionist Previous Column: Hip-Hop Nutcracker By Carol Perkins My perfectionist husband never leaves messes when he works on a project, puts his tools where they belong, and keeps the inside of his car spotless. His ability to follow a list without deviating from it is something he does with ease. It is unlike him to lose anything or haphazardly lay the mail anywhere but on his desk, which leads me to this contradictory behavior that I attribute to his retirement. We went to Texas to see our son and his family, particularly to see our youngest, Noah, play basketball. Normally, Jon has an extra vehicle, but this time, his extra one was in the shop, so we rented a Jeep SUV. Every time we got out of the car, I said, "Do you have the key?" He looked at me like, "What do you think!" Of course, he had the key. When we returned the car, we grabbed our luggage, and off we went. Easiest return I have experienced. Once we checked in at Southwest and dropped off our luggage, Guy's next stop was for lunch. Security lines were moving fast. We placed a few items in the tray, and that's when the FUN began. Guy pulled things out of his pocket and lo-and-behold, he looked at me as he held the car fob in his hand. (Not returning it would cost $200.) I considered it payback for his many comments about my past foibles. "I'll take them back," I said. We batted around the issue until he surrendered the keys, I went back through security, crossed the street to the Hertz office, and then walked back to check in/security again. I knew he had to eat before we took off. "I should have taken them back," he said as I found him finishing his lunch. I smiled. "You can't say one word about my forgetfulness for a week." We had a deal, but he still can't believe he forgot the keys. Things like that always happen to me, so I long ago lost the will to beat myself up! Stuff happens.
