We had an emergency last night.... Ken's urgent call "Chomper is missing" He's searched everywhere. No sign of him. Chomper is 5 inches tall, blue with a hint of red. He's also the baby in the T-Rex family. Mommy T-Rex and Daddy T-Rex can't find Chomper. And no one in this house is going to bed until Chomper is safely returned to his parents (and owner).
I stop at Ken's mom's house to verify that Chomper is not there, since Ethan had been there briefly that morning. No sign of the little guy. Do you think Target has a new Chomper? Now that I think of it... Where did we get Chomper? Crap. Christmas gift from the aunt & uncle. Unlikely there is another Chomper up in Payson. Hey, didn't I see MJ from Desperate Housewives playing with a Chomper on last weeks' episode? Do you think we could get it over-nighted? Note to self: Don't leave Chomper home with Dad. He gets lost!
I get home, search the car and the sandbox on my way into the house. Chub seems fine that Chomper is missing.... but it's not bedtime yet either. We sweep the house again, Ken swearing he's looked everywhere. I head for the living room to look again under the couch, chair, TV. As I look under the living room chair, out of the corner of my eye...teeth. I see Chomper!!! He's found!! Under the TV stand.
Hmmmm..... I think Daddy should not become a private investigator. But all is well. The dinosaurs are a family again, and we shall be able to sleep tonight knowing they are all safe in bed with Chub. Disaster averted. Whew.
