We had special plans to watch Dragon World tonight, so special that we swung by dad’s house to get the DVD. Can anyone guess where the DVD is now? Anyone? Anyone? Neither can we.

We turned the house upside down looking for it, which gave me oodles of opportunities to make such declarations as, “This is a perfect reason to put things in one place when you get home.” “I’ll bet you ten cookies that if your toys weren’t all over the place, you’d find that thing in five seconds.” “Gah! Look at this! What am I? Your maid?” (“Your not just our maid…”) “You are going to have to start pulling your own weight around here if you expect to receive an allowance, buster.” “Have you looked in your backpack?”

That last one got Logan’s attention. He returned with a beanie bear that looked like it had been dragged through a sewer. “Let me clean that, drop it in the sink, thank you.” He went back to looking, and I heard him call from his room, “Mom, why would there be play dough in my backpack?” I called back, “I don’t know, why wouldn’t there be? Why is that unusual?”

He brought me the play dough and handed it to me with a quizzical look. “Aaugh! That is NOT play dough! Go wash your hands! And give me that backpack! No! Don’t! I’ll get it!” “What, Mom? What is it?”

“My guess is that it’s a peach your dad packed for you about a month ago.”
