Anyone who has small children knows that running over
their toys with your minivan is pretty much like stabbing
your child's best friend...in front of them...while laughing.
Today we are burying Hugh The Hippo (from WalMart), who
is 2.5 years old (was a Christmas gift for Evan when he was
1).
Someone (probably Evan....) dropped him in the driveway
and I, being the hippo murderer I am, must have run over
him and literally smooshed his hard plastic head into
probably 60 pieces (a thousand pieces if you ask Evan
though).
But Hugh will not be forgotten. No. He will not.
Because Hugh has been replaced...but Hugh...The
Hippo...from the same WalMart.
And before anyone suggests it...yes...if Evan was NOT the
one who discovered poor Hugh in the driveway, I would have
promptly threw him in the trash very quickly, and gone to
WalMart at 9 or 10 at night to replace him and no one would
have known.
Now I have to bury a purple, plastic, singing hippo in my
backyard.
Lesson of the day...go out before you children to inspect your
vehicle surroundings for stupid toys that your own child left
out to die.
