A Spring Missing Glove Syndrome
Spring not only brings warm weather but also causes a strange syndrome.
It was a warm thawy day. On the way to the subway station, I found Japanese apricot trees were in bloom and at the same time I caught sight of something under a tree alone. It was a woman's glove. I picked the glove up and hung it on its branch so that the owner of its stuff could see it. After getting off the subway, I bought a SAKURA Strawberry Pink Milk Latte at Starbucks before I went out the ticket gate, and then, the same thing happened. There was a man's glove on the floor. I took it out to the lost and found office.
Since it was warmer than usual, I supposed the owners took their gloves off on their way and pushed them into pockets or something but they didn't realize one of them slipped off. That was like a missing sock syndrome, so I decided to call it "a spring missing glove syndrome".
