If this title intrigues you, read on! Well, this morning I panicked because I couldn’t seem to find my wedding rings anywhere! (Yes there are two of them that I wear together.) See, I know I should just wear them at all times, but I don’t like to wash my face, shower, apply lotion, etc. with them on because they just scratch me and get "stuff" in them. So anyway, I searched all the usual places, but no luck. Despite my panic, I tried to think of where they could be. I remembered last removing them in the bathroom and placing them in the corner of the bathroom counter. I also recalled getting ready for the day this morning with my constant companion Chase playing happily in the sink while I did so, running the water and tinkering with things on the counter… Uh-oh.
Instantly, an Ensign article I read I long time ago came to my mind, in which a woman accidentally flushed her wedding ring down the toilet. She soon realized that it was gone forever, and decided that she would just have to be humble and replace her wedding ring with a plain silver band. This story affected me at that time because I decided that I never wanted to have any such experience.
I realized now that I really didn’t feel like having that same humbling experience at this point in time (or ever)! I continued to think for a minute, and remembered that Chase had been playing with the bottle of lotion (taste-testing it and such). I listened as I shook the bottle, and sure enough, the rings were in there! I dumped out most of the lotion to get to the rings. There they were, safe and sound. That’s my busy boy!!! I usually do a decent job of keeping things out of Chase’s reach, but this was one of the times that I failed… and almost had to pay a big price for it! Here’s a photo to illustrate the crime scene.
