Just not good enough
I've torn every inch of my house apart looking for a shark tooth necklace. A shark tooth necklace that Keven Jr. decided he HAD to have a few days ago. The same necklace that we got for him as a souvenir from a vacation we took in Hawaii. ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO.
I think he wore the necklace once. Possibly while we were still in Hawaii. Since we returned to the mainland? He's never asked for it, or wanted to wear it.
Until Monday.
His kindergarten class is talking about Australia this week and I can only imagine that they have been discussing sharks. Sharks are big in Australia, no? And because the boy has a memory like no other, this discussion in class has since sparked memories from our trip and reminded him of the necklace we bought for him. ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO.
He wanted to wear it to school today for show and tell. He has not stopped asking me about it since the first mention of it on Monday. And of course I could not find it in time for the life of me. Even worse? I can't remember at all what I did with it. And that is just not good enough for him.
Bring on the mommy guilt. Today is going to be a rough day.

ReplyDeleteReminds me of the night Matthew called wanting to know if I knew where the NKOTB hats were - the night before the concert. It took me a while, but I found them ... sad, isn't it? Do you still have yours - from the concert I took you guys to, um ... over 20 years ago?
