Ted's trip
Ted went missing tonight at Parker's bedtime. Rachel, Parker, and I looked all over for old Ted, and he was nowhere to be found. Parker had just been playing with Ted and Lion, and we knew he couldn't have gone far.
Parker said he was in the kitchen, but he wasn't in the kitchen. He said he was in the hamper, but the hamper wasn't there. Parker isn't always the most reliable witness, unfortunately. We looked in all the cupboards and all the drawers. We looked in the pantry, and under the train table, and behind the couch. That bear was nowhere.
Finally, we gave up. Sometimes Ted goes on trips, and Parker has to sleep without him. So Parker went upstairs for books with Mommy, and I went in to finish cleaning the kitchen. And only then did I happen to look up.
