Mothers with Brooms

Have you ever had it were you had somthing slightly important. So you put it in the most obscure place you can think of knowing that the chances of somone finding it there are a million to one. Only to go back and find out it is missing? *Sobs*. My friend Stina got an I pod for christmas. Only to find out her computor was too old for the software. So when I heard her planning to return It I said that I could take her Cd's and put them onto her Ipod using my comp. She gave me her Cd and a song list that had taken her a extremely long time to make and asked me for the songs.

I was so buisy that week and new that I would not be able to get to it so I put it next to my computor under a piece of wood that we use to hold up the phone and some Cd racks. As some twisted person would have it my mom was using the phone and knocked the wood off. Seeing the piece of paper with 200+ songs on it she thought it was my sisters, ripped it into six tiny little pieces and tossed it into the garbage.

But wait. If your not conviced this is a sick play by fate it gets better. That night I wasnt buisy for the first time so I went grab the paper. I lifted the board and it wasnt there. I looked beside the computor and it wasnt there either. With a little bit of a shudder I asked mom if she had done any cleaning
~ I must make a note here. My moms version of cleaning consists of anything that doesnt look like it has a use gets thrown out without a second glance~ I asked her If she had seen a little piece of paper and she said no. I persisted and she said vaguely that she might have tossed somthing like that into the garbage. With a small sob I went and searched there. Needless to say after several disgusting moments I pulled the relativly intact paper onto the counter. Pieced it together like a bad jigsaw puzzle and it is sitter there now drying.

Morals of the story. 1. Pick the most open place to hide somthing
2. Never doubt a mothers skill of finding somthing important in a place
that she never looks and throwing it out
