dude... where's my car?

when i was young, i forget how old... i used to have this toy robot that i was particularly attached to (man, i love robots!).

well it turns out one day my mom threw it away. she didn't say anything. i just came home from kindergarten one day and the robot was gone.

at about the same time i had this bolster (for any non-asians reading this, a bolster is a cylindrical pillow-like thing that you can hug to sleep. just think a 4-foot soft phallic stuffed cotton thing about 8 to 10 inches in diameter and you're probably not far off... and boy you guys don't know what you're missing, i'll tell you that...)

ANYWAY, it was a security bolster that i would carry around almost everywhere (there's kids sizes, too). but guess what? i came home one day and it was gone.

same thing happened to my pacifier. it just magically disappeared. i knew where it was kept, too. top drawer near the kitchen sink. looked for it one day but it wasn't there anymore.

my security blanket disappeared under similarly mysterious circumstances. i had that till i was pretty old actually...

then there was the dog. fifi was a cocker spaniel. she was a gift for (my brother? my sister? i don't remember...) since we got her as a puppy she wasn't house-trained so there was a mess that we always had to clean up. after a while though, yup, you guessed it... fifi was gone.

all these things i loved so much, disappeared without a trace. i know what you were trying to do mom. but i sometimes wish you didn't.

thank you.
