On The Way To The Potty Guess What I Found?

Have you ever noticed that when one kid in the group has to pee, they all have to pee? I was at a meeting at my daughter's school today with two other moms and the principal. I had my youngest with me and the other moms had their kids with them too, so between us there were 3 girls, ages 3yrs, 4yrs, and 5yrs. One decided she had to go pee and the others all of a sudden just had to go too. On the way to the washroom part of the hallway is a ramp with a handrail. Hanging on the handrail are all the items of lost clothing that have accumulated over the course of the school year. Everything from hoodies to undwear (yes, underwear! who loses underwear?). I knew there were a lot of items in the lost and found. I have repeatedly asked my 10yr old "Have you checked the lost and found? Is anything of yours there?" (She has way too many clothes. I don't always notice if something is missing.) The answer I always get is "Yes, I checked. None of it is mine." Well, guess what? on our journey to the washroom, a familiar hoodie caught my eye. I picked it up and looked at the tag and guess who's name was on the tag? Yup, my 10yr old's name. Written very clearly in black sharpie. Good thing all three girls decided to go pee because Friday it would have left the building!
