After several years of losing hats, lunchboxes, snowpants, raincoats, and gloves at school, M has finally figured out how not to lose his possessions there.
He’s started to lose mine instead.
Unbeknownst to me, he went to school this morning with a pair of my gloves. Only one glove made it home. The other is supposedly somewhere in his classroom. Odds are not great that he’ll find it again, since it’s a plain blue glove, and it doesn’t even have a name label in it (the way M’s possessions do) to help with recovery.
I might not mind so much, except that these gloves were brand new, warm, and waterproof, and have come in quite handy with all the shoveling I’ve been doing lately.
Think it’s fair to tell M that since he lost my glove, he gets to do the shoveling?
