Yesterday my son couldn’t find his school-issued pedometer. When it doesn’t get utilized for long periods, it goes to another student for a turn. He had one more day to use it again before losing the fitbit to the next kid.
He and his dad searched his room before bedtime the night before with no luck. I scanned countertops and drawers, wondering if the cat got it and buried it with his other treasures beneath our bed.
In the morning, I asked him what jacket he wore last time he had it on. He immediately knew where to find it– the pocket of his winter coat. Ta-da! Found it.
I said “jacket?” and he said “pocket,” our brains untangling the knot in the same moment.
