I can never get out of the house on the first try.  My kids and my husband always laugh at me when I come back inside for keys, sunglasses, beverage, snack, shopping list, item I’m returning, etc.  Therefore, I’ve started having conversations with myself about what I’m forgetting before I get in the car – that just makes them laugh harder, but I’m hoping that maybe one day I’ll figure out how to get everything the first time.

Joe jumped into one of these conversations the other day and suggested I bring Lucky Clover Percy with me. That’s not actually his name.  Percy, the cheeky little green engine, came out in a special 60th Anniversary Edition with metallic wheels and funnel, which we promptly named Lucky Clover Percy.  Because I have an odd sense of humor, I did.  Here are the text messages that followed:

So many choices. Good thing Percy is here to help me decide!

No, Percy, we're not getting brownies

OH NO! I can't find him!

 

 

 

Getting into the holiday spirit

 

Percy is such a gentleman!

 

And this little Percy cried WEE WEE WEE all the way home!

 

 

 

 

 

 

And now, if you never doubted my sanity before, you probably do now.  :-)
