From the Globe and Mail, July 9, 2001 p. A12:
"It's not the easiest thing to explain to a loved one. The two of you stop at a gas station in Brandon, Manitoba, on the way to the Winnepeg Folk Festival. You get back in the car at 3:30 a.m., drive for 2 1/2 hours, find a camping site and then realize you've left the light of your life back at the station.
'Ooops' doesn't quite cover it, even if - as Mike Thompson did last week - you promptly drive back to rescue your beloved. There's something in the words "I didn't notice you were missing" that might strike a person the wrong way, however obviously truthful they might be ..."
How would you react if you were left behind? How easily would you forgive? What if you were the one to suddenly realize you'd just driven for hours without your sweetie?
(Somehow I can't picture a woman ever making that particular mistake...)
