    I became the mother that hung out in the lost and found room last year when Miss Comic Relief lost three cardigans in quick succession. I found it quite astonishing that there were school trousers in there. What DID that child go home wearing, and how did no-one notice?

    There were also winter coats, socks, shoes, bears and knickers.

    A friend of mine was also rummaging through the barrel one day looking for the brand new, named, fleece her daughter had failed to come home wearing after the first day of term – and found the one that had been “lost” on the first day of school the year before. A size too small, but still with the name sewn into the seam. We figure that an unscrupulous mother told her offspring to ditch the one she’d stolen the year before and pick a new one that fit.

    Luckily we haven’t had the kids lose too many items. Although we did have a situation one year where one of my daughter’s classmates borrowed her sweater then gave her some long drawn out excuse that involved the sweater being stolen in the night by thieves, never to be seen again. The mother was contacted, the sweater returned, all was right with the first grade, but we still talk about it.

    You could always staple the sweatshirt on. ;)

    LOL. Maybe there’s a secret, underground network of moms who never, ever do any back to school shopping. They just have their kids visit the Lost and Found. And maybe the Lost and Found is where the mysterious thieves who only steal borrowed sweaters go to fence their goods.

    I’m certain there is an episode of CSI just waiting to be made here ;)

    I believe there is a secret society of socks. And one day, Dan Brown will write a bestselling novel where we all discover the symbology behind the secret society and how those socks will not have been sacrificed in vain. In fact, if you look very closely at the painting of the Last Supper, you will see in the lower, right-hand corner a tiny sock. Coincidence? I think not ;)

    I feel your pain. Last year, my son lost three winter jackets (he found one but not the one with the “Columbia” label), a pair of winter boots and countless mittens/gloves. The only thing he didn’t lose was his awful hunter orange winter cap. After countless lectures, I gave up and took him to Walmart where I made him use his allowance to buy his own coat.

    I might be mean but it worked for us…he wore that coat right through spring!

    Isn’t it amazing how if it’s: a) ugly; or b) purchased with their money it magically finds its way home every night?

    I love when I have free time to check out blogs online. I learn a lot from then and many are very funny. Keeping a smile on my face while relaxing is always a pleasure! Thanks for sharing yours.

    Mine will NEVER wear clothing appropriate to begin with…shorts when it’s 14 degrees outside and after sending them back in from the car, he FINALLY comes out with pants on…and has the nerve to take them off (to reveal the SAME DANG SHORTS) as soon as I start driving, so I see him, just seconds too late to do anything about it, exiting the minivan and entering the school to show off what a SORRY excuse for a parent actually drove him to school and “put him out” dressed like that in the winter! The winter clothes magically wind up in the dirty laundry repeatedly ALL SUMMER, even though I only saw them in 7 different stinky sweaty summer outfits all day that the sweatshirts seem to have gotten “soaked in” before deposited (and the STINKY clothes DO NOT EVER get put in the hamper), so they have to actually get washed as many times as they show up…….AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The crewneck style sweatshirt is a timeless classic that never goes out of style.
