Today my youngest son had a rough day
This morning my son and I were working in the garage and I asked him where my tape measure was that he had the other day. He responded saying it was in his fire truck pedal car. I asked him to go please get it. All my other ones are not in the garage. (Imagine that) A while goes by and he finally comes back saying he can't find his fire truck. He's 4 so I assumed he left it on the other end of the yard or something. I asked where he had it last and he walked out to where they park their pedal cars and bikes. He pointed to the ground and told me he parked it white dere Dad. I know I did so no wun would wun it over. :LOL: I have a gravel area for them in between the drive way and fence by the side walk to park them out of the way. Sure enough, it wasn't there. We walked the yard, checked the shed just in case, checked behind the garage and it wasn't around. We then walked around our block looking in yards to see if it got a ride home from another kiddo. Nope, nothing. I told him well buddy, it's probably gone. He couldn't believe it. We put all the other kids' toys inside the fence by the garage. When I took him to preschool we drove around our side of town trying to spy it, but we didn't find it. What kind of human steals a 4 year old's hot rod? He's pissed, I'm pissed, and he'll have to wait. Daddy needs truck parts. :LOL: Poor kid. Maybe I'll upgrade him to a pedal tractor. I'm guessing someone eyed them while driving by and decided they'd get them one at a time. I guess it's time to start locking everything for now. We usually don't worry about that around here but having to replace a $290 toy will make you rethink things a bit.
