Further adventures of Kaptain Kartoffelkopf

The reprise of my own idiocy has struck again in what is becoming an all to familiar litany of stories.  I could be an idiot-savant if I could just get the savant part down.  This time it occurred as follows:

I was playing for several members of a horn studio for a little competition at Nebraska Wesleyan University.  The winner had to play at a 4pm recital.  As I was going in to the recital, Jenn texted me to ask what time she should pick me up.  I texted back that I would text her as we were going on stage.  If she left then, she would be down to get me by the time I finished playing.  All went according to plan, but Jenn didn’t make it when I finished.  After waiting for about 5 minutes, I sent her another message that said, “Where are you?”  She arrived shortly after, and we left.  About six blocks away from the University, the following dialogue ensued:

Kurt:  We have to go back.  I forgot something.
Jenn:  What?
Kurt:  We have to go back.  I forgot something.
Jenn:  I heard you before.  What did you forget.
(after a long pause)
Kurt:  I don’t want to tell you.
Jenn:  What?!
Kurt:  I don’t want to tell you.  We just have to go back.
Jenn:  What did you forget?  Your cell phone?  Your computer?
Kurt:  No.  I don’t want to tell you.
Jenn:  I’m going to see when you walk out of the building with it.  You need to tell me what it is.
Kurt:  I don’t want to tell you because you’re just going to tell me that I’m a dumb-ass, and then you’ll be on about it all night.
Jenn:  Just tell me.
Kurt:  No.
Jenn:  If you don’t tell me right now, I can promise that the rest of the evening will not be enjoyable.
(after a long pause, sheepishly)
Kurt:  The car.

Yes, it turns out I had driven myself to work like a big boy and then forgotten how I arrived.  I then pestered my wife to pick me up and complained when she was a few moments late.  In my defense, I was playing Mozart, Richard Strauss, and also some Franz Strauss.  That’s the dad, and he had asthma.
