Chipmunk

So, we told a tiny little fib to Olivia today.  Last summer she lost her Eleanor chipmunk that came with a McDonald’s Happy Meal. It says, “It’s so beautiful!” She was very attached to Chipmunk (this was pre-Peacock) and has talked about its disappearance at least every day for almost a year.  We’ve torn the house apart looking for it and I don’t think it will ever be found.  Well, we decided to buy her a new one on Ebay.  It was only $4, which is still more than the cost of a Happy Meal, but very reasonable considering how much she loved it.  We knew that if we presented it to her as a new one “just like” her old one. . .she would not accept it.  So, we hid it in the hall closet and I sent her on a mission to get some towels.  And. . .there was Chipmunk!  We had one happy girl in our house tonight!

And, just so you know. . . it’s been hiding in the closet for the past year and we forgot to look there. LOL!
