"I've got an emergency.""Huh?"
"I think I flushed my amethyst ring down the toilet."
"Huh?"
"Trot was playing with your shaving cream in the bathroom and had it all over the sink, floor, and toilet. I cleaned it all up and I think I threw my ring AND the toilet paper into the bowel."
"HUH?"
Yet another one of those conversations that I have with Ang on a seemingly daily basis about Trot; turns out he spewed my shaving cream all over the bathroom (he told his Mom he was writing her a love letter. May I remind you he's 5. How does he come up with this stuff?) and in the process of cleaning it up and yelling her head off my dear, sweet wife thought she'd flushed a $500 dollar ring (a gift from my brother in law about 10 years ago) down the toilet.
Thankfully we found it in the trash can, tangled up in the bag that came out of the bathroom can.
No, I have no idea how this happened. And no, I didn't say a word.
But the fact a valued piece of jewelry can end up in a trash can thanks to a 5 year old, a can of shaving cream, and a demented mind is frightening on about 300 levels.
One day, this kid will drive a car.
May God Have Mercy on our Souls.

Mom told me this story. He's pretty fast to come up with that "I was just writing you a love letter" line. :)
He's a loon.
I love that little monster, even if you cant return a phone call.
Hey. I don't have a 2 hour commute!
