If any of you remember, awhile ago we posted about super powers. http://sahmsisters.blogspot.com/2011/02/my-super-powers.html
My sis mentioned she can get out any kind of stain, no matter what it is. I have to bring this up again.
I am a finder.
I mean it. You lose it, I find it. Seriously.
Today when I got home from picking up Miss 7 from ballet, the house was in an uproar. I had only been gone an hour but Miss 1 had been terrorizing daddy the whole time. I’m talking terrorizing, in the way that only a two year old can. (oh yes, she’ll be two next month and she is truly terrible).
Anyway, right away I noticed that Miss 1 was not wearing her glasses and daddy looked panicked.
“She’s been everywhere,” he said. “They’re gone. This is the fourth time.”
I tried to stay calm. I suggested we quickly eat dinner, because he needed to get back to work. (He had only come home for a quick bite to eat and then had a late appointment.)
“I’ll find them after dinner,” I said. “No worries.” In my mind, I was already formulating a prayer for help and imagining a full search, room to room, through trash cans and under beds. I pictured myself walking through the grass, systematically staring down at each blade.
“She was in the garage, too,” he said.
“I hope I didn’t park on them,” I said, still trying to keep up a semblance of calm. I was really trying to be nice, but I did mention that when I am home and she starts taking them off repeatedly, I keep them with me and just let her go free for a little while until she’s ready again. Poor daddy sighed and his shoulders slumped when I mentioned this and I realized I needed to keep my mouth shut.
After a hasty dinner, and a quick kiss goodbye, daddy headed back to work. Poor guy, on the way out I saw him worriedly peering down at the garage floor some more.
I slowly ate my dinner. Then I rose from the table, walked into Miss 1’s bedroom, picked up her glasses case, opened it and voila! There they were. I love my super power.
