Grammy on the Beach

I was at the beach with my friend today (which is one of the best places for Anndropping, btw) and we overheard something priceless.

Grammy: Have you seen a grey and black Emerald Queen Casino blanket and a pair of shorts and a thermos?

Sunbathing Man: No, I haven't.

Grammy: I left them right here on the beach. I can't believe things are disappearing from the beach.

Man: Uh, yeah, sorry. (leavemealone leavemealone leavemealone...)

Grammy: I've been coming to this beach for years and this has never happened. I  can't believe things are disappearing from the beach. It's bad.

Man: ...

Grammy: That thermos was very expensive. It was an expensive thermos. And my shorts and blanket. I can't believe things are disappearing from the beach.

Man: Sorry.

We wait until Grammy has walked away enough to know that she's not going to come ask us about her stuff and then sit up to get a look at her.

Hat, sunglasses, Seven Feathers Casino oversized shirt over a swimsuit, beach bag.

No shorts.

Why did she walk away from her blanket with her bag and shirt but not her shorts? How is she going to get home without shorts? Grammy, come back!
