The Ogre brought home a toy airplane for Liam from his last conference. Liam was instantly attached to it and has been sleeping with it every night and taking it everywhere. Even to Trader Joe\u2019s. Where he accidentally left it in the grocery cart. We realized we had left it there as soon as we got home and I immediately called the store. The blessed man who answered put me on hold and checked every cart in the parking lot, but didn\u2019t see it. He said he would leave a note for everyone else to keep an eye out for it, which I appreciated, but I didn\u2019t really have much hope that it would turn up.<\/p>\n
This was a serious blow. Little Liam has been wandering around for two days asking where his airplane is. He even cried last night because he didn\u2019t have it. The Ogre has been combing Amazon to try and find one that is similar and not outrageously expensive, but hasn\u2019t had much luck.<\/p>\n
This morning I got a phone call from the manager, who not only found the airplane but wrapped it up and put it in their store\u2019s safe with my name on it, so we could come get it next time we are out there. Liam is beside himself with glee. So am I, for that matter.<\/p>\n
