We had DS's soccer party at a local pizza place. It was chaotic, several teams all having their party. We took separate cars there. We get home, DS and I go out again a few hours later, get home around dinner time and DS asks for his soccer trophy. We can't find it. We tear apart the house thinking it got put down somewhere. Then we think back further "who picked it up from the table and brought it home?" DH thought I had it as I always carry DS's stuff, I thought DH had it.
Oops. Call restaurant, they're not helpful on the phone. DH drives there to talk to staff, nothing. I email the team thinking slim chance as if you did pick up a kid's trophy that was left behind, you would have emailed/called sometime after the party and it's now 6 hours later.
DS is upset. DH and I are thinking what can we do to make it up to DS. Can we pay for another trophy if they have spares. Will any trophy be a good replacement. DS goes to sleep and we promise him we'll make it up somehow.
Get an email from the coach. He has it. Relieved.
I suppose it could have been worse. In our confusion, we could have forgotten who was supposed to take DS home.
