Missing!

We have finally experienced the drama of a "missing" guy I got to school last night and Chickie Chick was not in Mary's backpack only bear. Any of you who know Mary know that she can't stand for anything to be missing puzzle pieces, toys that go together etc bugs the heck out of her so to have something she really cares about missing put her over the edge. We looked everywhere, the gym, the computer room lost and found no Chickie. I am guessing he accidently got put in the wrong backpack or maybe washed with the blankies after nap.

I just went on an internet search "Chickie Chick" is actually Quackly the Duck - 2.0 Beanie no wonder he ran away he's no chick! I wonder what he thought about Jim practicing the duck call so many times? Maybe he was afraid since duck season was over he might be in danger?

So all kidding aside back to my dilemma what do I do? Buy a new one and try to tell Mary he came home? What if the original shows up and she knows Mommy tried to trick her. Now I know the trauma Theresa faced when Lauren's "Mary Bear" disappeared so many years ago.

For the record Elvis's live version of Runaway is so much better than the original unfortunately playlist does not have it despite my extensive search!

Probably Chickie Chick will come home. It is sad and cute. Can't believe the poor little duck thinks it is a chick now. Chickie chick will probably be back today, especially if someone starts calling it a duck.

A Duck assuming the identity of a chicken has to be a violation of some Federal Law. Certainly Homeland Security would be interested. I would not notify the FBI just yet as if they should find him, they would send him to Guantamino and eventually to Super Max in Colorado.
This brings to mind the question as to is the duck turned chick a male or female? Do we know? Could it have also taken on a false sexual orientation?
Are you sure the victim disappeared at school? Could an abduction by one of Mary's elitist classmates have taken place? How can a crime take place at a school with an armed guard?
Did the duck turned chick get so engrossed with hiding his true identity that he was mistaken for a WebKin?
Did Don and Sue seize him as part of their share of Granpa's inheritance?
I would not replace it as it may turn up as you say, and then you would be forced to explain the reproductive process of a duck turned chicken.
A good solution may be to explain to Mary that Chickie ran away because he could not take listening to any more Bobo music.

Dad as usual your comments are far more entertaining than my blog. This morning I got to sing Baa Baa Black Sheep and Old McDonald about 40 times (of course that reminded her of Chickie and I heard "Need Chickie" in the saddest voice ever) until she decided she wanted to listen to "Cash" and then feel asleep during Ring of Fire. Will I ever get to listen to more than 3 songs on Elvis radio again?

Connor's Huggie Bear got super nasty when he was about 2, I thought I was smart and went to Target to get him a new Huggie. I waited until nightime thinking that was the best time to pull a fast one. I handed over Huggie 2.0 and he said "yea, Huggie has a brother!" I said, no this is your Huggie - too smart for me he said Huggie has no eyes! The kid was right, that is why we needed a new one! So Connor got 2 Huggies - I think Mary is that smart too, just sayin.
