I’ve always kept a small screwdriver in my backpack. It often comes in handy—whether it’s to open up a hard drive, replace a remote control battery, or who knows what else. Experience (and a few mistakes) taught me it’s worth investing in a quality tool.

When my father-in-law saw it, he asked if he could borrow it for a few days. I happily agreed, but my wife warned me not to, worried it might get lost.

A few days later, just as she had predicted, my father-in-law asked if I had taken it back, because he couldn’t find it anymore. Gone. Never seen again.

Not long after, I bought a new one—this time, following my wife’s advice, I didn’t mention it to my father-in-law.

This morning, while I was out, I noticed the lens on my sunglasses had come loose and was about to fall off. I immediately pulled out my trusty screwdriver, tightened the lens, and made sure everything was secure.

I smiled to myself and quietly thought of my wife’s wise advice—and how, without a doubt, I should listen to her more often.
