A lost card

Simone searched her purse frantically. No Canada's Wonderland season's passes.

She searched the area where she keeps her purse at the house.

No cards.

She searched the car.

No cards.

"Are we going yet?" Little B's seatbelt was fastened. He was primed and ready for a day of fun at Canada's Wonderland.

Simone sighed. "Yes, yes. We're going." She mentally kicked herself for failing to observe one of the top rules of engagement: never tell 'em where you're going or else you might get yourself in trouble, should you fail to do what you promised to do.

Her stomach in a knot as she quietly reviewed the places where the cards might be. The list was mercifully short. Either her purse or the car. She pulled up to the parking lot attendant booth at Canada's Wonderland and handed the clerk her iPhone. The clerk glanced at it with suspicion.

"I've got the barcode from my card on there," Simone explained. "Can you see whether it accesses my parking pass?"

Surprisingly enough, it did!

At the gate however, Simone and little B were ushered to the Guest Services desk where they were issued a temporary day pass based on the system's info.

"It's a one time offer," warned that clerk. "So you'd better find your season's passes."

And Simone did find the cards. Of course she did. She found them under the seat of her car once her day at Canada's Wonderland came to an end...
