You were absolutely right to be afraid, Steph. She could have done anything and we wouldn't have known until it was too late.
If Kara and Clovis ever pooled their talents, we'd all be screwed.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Mostly lurking...
My younger brother had this amazing ability to wander off from my parents when he was little. He did it twice in one long weekend when we were in Ohio. The first time was at a mall. He wandered away looking at something, ended up going to the information booth and saying, "Hi. My name is ___________. My mom is looking at wicker baskets, and I lost her." They knew exactly which store mom was at and found her quickly.
The second time was at King's Island. He wandered off, found a litter getter, said, "Hi. My name is ___________. I lost my fambly. Are there toys?" The litter getter took him to the children's lost and found area where he promptly walked in, repeated his phrase and again asked for toys. They told my parents they'd never seen such a calm lost child before.
He never got out of the house...except that one time with me...but we won't go there :)

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Mom and dad were notorious for forgetting one of us. My turn was when I fell asleep in church and everyone went home. I had to unlock the church doors and get to the parking lot (down a long, winding, decorative type walk between trees and over a creek), to find only two people (though that's better than none). Mom and Dad had gotten all the way home before they realized they were missing one.
Perkins sent us stuffed animals. Anyone who has seen our house knows we don't need any more stuffed animals, and yet we (meaning Kara and I) are absolutely gleeful at the treasures. I got (through judicious trading and quick fingers) animal, beeker, kermit and gonzo finger puppets. We're sharing the duck-billed platypus. She let Aidan have the red dog, but Kara's keeping all the rest.

I'm so sorry for your loss Jacqueline.

I love the platypus.
I'm down to gonzo. She took all the rest.

Awww, but Gonzo is the BEST. Don't let her know that.

I won't tell her. I wanted to keep Kermit, too, but there was no way a frog was escaping her. I think Frog may be her totem animal, she loves them so much.

Hmph. Cosmopolitan has a "What Kind of Sexy are you?" quiz online, and I'm a sucker for quizzes. Of course, the questions are annoyingly reductive (I had to pass up "goofy but glam" in favor of "sweet and sensual" despite not considering myself sweet or sensual -- but certainly not glam), but even so I find myself irked at the "favorite sexual pose" question (I guess position must be passe). It only has three options.
