Lost and Found

Bud's school folder has been missing for days and he swore it was in Mama's car from kung fu. Well, I found it in the basement of all places today and devised a scavenger hunt for him to find it. You won't be surprised that it took him 3--THREE!!--searches of the basement to find the folder hiding right there in the middle of the floor! And then he brought it upstairs . . . and left it in the middle of the floor.  Even though part of the scavenger hunt--with clues spread throughout the house--indicated the place where his folder and backpack should be stored.  I can't decide if I made misplacing things too much fun.  And I will refrain from making stereotypes based on gender, even if all my mom friends swear it's nature and true; somedays I definitely believe them.
