Digging in the Garbage

I don't have a picture to go with this story, but it's funny enough that it just has to be told! Remember last week when I said that Jonathan attaches to something and has to carry it around with him all day long? Well, lately he has been attaching himself to Chris's keys. Chris had been letting him carry them around until he could trade or distract him. One day, Chris traded him with a different set of keys to carry. That set had Chris's copy of our house keys on it...and they disappeared. Chris searched in Jonathan's toy box and everywhere else he could think of. After four or five days of missing keys, Chris finally decided to search our big kitchen garbage can in case Jonathan threw the keys away. Chris donned a set of yellow rubber gloves and scooped out handful after handful of disgusting stuff. When he was nearly at the bottom, he said, "Maybe we ought to look under the piano." I got out a ruler and slid it under the piano...and there they were! I laughed and laughed and laughed (although Chris didn't think it was quite as funny as I did)! We'll see if Chris lets Jonathan play with his keys from now on!!!
