The Missing Watch...Jimmy Kimmel's Little Sis Must of Have Done it!

II just knew I left my watch on my dresser! My sister took it...or one of her friends...I just know it!

Yep that was me somewhere around 19 or 20 years old. My little sister was 9 years younger. Her best friend at the time was this little pain in the ass, Jill Kimmel. I didn't know much of her or her family except that they lived down the street and my sister was always hanging out over there. Those pesky little kids were always up to some sorta conniving. And I don't remember ever thinking they were very funny at all, ever.

One day as I was searching for one of my beloved Swatch watches in my bedroom. I had quite a selection. One in particular was missing... And the first thing I thought of was my sister or one of her little friends took it! I ranted about it, hoping to scare my sister into a confession, but to no avail. My precious watch had been ripped from my possession so swiftly. As I mourned for my Swatch Watch I boiled with anger and finally landed on a perfect candidate for my resentment! That Jill Kimmel did it, I just know it!

I was sure that Jill took my watch. But my sister swore neither of them took it. What could I do...I thought of some sorta torture, but that would land me in trouble with my mom or her parents, for sure! I had been duped by this Jill Kimmel gal...and I couldn’t do anything about it!

Many weeks later as I was rummaging through the top drawer of my dresser, I found that damn watch...it had fallen or had been brushed into the top drawer unbeknown to me!

I had to eat crow...damn it! Now I couldn’t resent my sister or that Jill Kimmel!

She remained forever on my mind as one of those valuable lessons in life.

Some years later I learned that Jill was the sister of Jimmy. Jimmy Kimmel. Who would have figured that you could live a few houses down from one of the funniest guys around and never know it! I had no idea. Jill was also some sort of comedian herself. I found her on Facebook and MySpace and stalked her for a few minutes. I found out she was quite funny and adorable!...It must run in the family. I must have not seen the signs of a budding comedian at the time...but then again I was really only concerned about me… and my Swatch Watch of course!

Now, every time I think to accuse someone of something...I think about this story and I remind myself of the infamous Jill Kimmel!
