The dreaded dolphin necklace

A few months ago, the whole fam went to Fuddruckers for dinner. While we were there, Dylan and Abbie noticed the little machines with the cheapo toys in them. They talked Jesse into giving them quarters and they were so excited to see what kind of treasure they would get. I can't remember what Abbie got (she probably lost it before we left the restaurant), but Dylan got this horrible dolphin necklace. Ya know the kind with a black string and tarnished looking dolphin attached. He was so excited he thought it was the coolest thing. I thought it was the worst, but figured he'd forget about it and then it would disappear. Well, he wore it off and on and it started to bug me. So, I put it away one night in a place where he wouldn't be able to find it. I didn't have the heart to throw it away completely, so I just hid it. Fast forward to last night. We went to Fuddruckers again and the kids suckered Jesse into more quarters. Guess what Dylan got? The EXACT SAME NECKLACE. Now he has 2. He asked me where his other necklace was, so I got it down cause he wants to share it with Abbie. Now I have 2 kids with this necklace. It's like a bad dream that won't go away.

Ha ha. That's always the way it works. I hate it when I throw things away just to have Jane ask for them 3 months later.
