I had my handy-dandy-never-wrinkle dress, but desperately needed the slip to go with it. It wasn&#8217;t where I thought I remembered putting it, so I asked St. Anthony to help me find it. He&#8217;s helped me on numerous occasions, and one of his favorite ways seems to be by giving me a clue in my email. Don&#8217;t ask me why; I think maybe he feels he was born in the wrong generation?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I checked the first message in the inbox, and it was one I&#8217;d already read. The only part I hadn&#8217;t read was the signature, so I read it. It was about music. Ok, rush to the side of the bed where the clock radio is, I think. I couldn&#8217;t find it anywhere. About that time, my <a href=\"http:\/\/ypp.dyndns.org\">son<\/a> came into the room. &#8220;Andy,&#8221; I said, &#8220;Anthony is your patron saint.&#8221; (He chose the name Anthony at confirmation because, as he put it, &#8220;He finds things.&#8221;) &#8220;Can <i>you<\/i> ask him for help finding my slip?<\/p>\n<p>Unbeknownst to me, he wandered over to my computer. &#8220;Music,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Music. It was the first word I saw on your computer screen.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>I thought it was kind of funny that he used &#8220;my&#8221; method. &#8220;Where did you see it?&#8221; It isn&#8217;t, after all, much of a coincidence if he looked at the email I already had open to that spot. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Right here,&#8221; he said. Apparently someone had clicked on a different tab in the browser, and it was on a different page. Andy had come up with the same word. We kept searching by the clock radio, thinking we must have overlooked it.<\/p>\n<p>Just about this time, the <a href=\"http:\/\/ontheotherfoot.blogspot.com\">Charming and Patient Husband<\/a> came into the room. Andy rushed to tell him how St. Anthony had &#8220;given us the same word.&#8221; Joel peered into a laundry basket that I thought I&#8217;d already searched, and saw the baby&#8217;s favorite toy sitting on top. It&#8217;s a toy laptop that, when starts up, says &#8220;Hello, let&#8217;s play. Let&#8217;s make some music!&#8221; It gets annoying to us simpleminded grownups, I assure you. Joel said &#8220;Let&#8217;s make some music!&#8221; in a perfect impersonation of the tone of the voice in the computer toy. He lifted the toy, and there was the slip.<\/p>\n<p>I like St. Anthony despite his being a wise elbow. Or maybe because of it. Anyway, thank you, Saintly Friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; elbow.
