Long Post Regarding My Baby's Stolen Goods

Someone stole my baby's sand toys.

I'm not kidding.  Is this not ridiculous or what?!  Mr. Jarcy took The Boy to a park, our main park.  We love this park but hate how some kids don't share toys.  They run over, grab the toys back from The Boy only to leave it somewhere still within his line of sight and not play with it.  That's just silly and rude. Where are the parents?  Many moms and dads don't allow for this and we like those moms and dads.   Other parents are off working on laptops and yapping into cell phones about orchestrating helicopter shots in action movies (true story).  That parent can't be bothered with petty toy sharing (or their kids for that matter).  And then there are parents who apparently steal.  Nannies don't play any of this bullshit, they just encourage the kids to share and play in harmony, god bless em.  

If a kid comes up to play with The Boy's toys we allow it.  If he's not playing with them then someone should.  So today kids played with his sand toys.  Unfortunately, those kids also claimed them as their own and left The Boy high and dry.  The Boy arrived at the park with a rake, two buckets, a shovel, a boat and a sand mold.  He came home with a rake and a sand mold.

Well, Mrs. Jarcy, you know, sometimes you have to write your child's name on his toys so this doesn't happen.  

Yes, I suppose you are correct and one mommy made sure to point this out to Mr. Jarcy repeatedly (as she was stealing the toys).  But here's the deal--do you really not realize you're leaving the park with double the amount of toys as you had upon arrival?  I don't think so.  And seriously, we live in STUDIO CITY, people!  It's nowhere near Compton, it's an upscale 'hood where The Jarcy's will only be able to buy a home if we "make it big."  So go to Target yourself and drop another $10 on toys, you thieves.  

I'm not going to give up on the toy sharing even though part of me wants to be childish.  Hey, those are HIS toys!  It has his name on it so you can't have it!  No, I will not do that.  We'll write THE BOY all over his toys, share them often and keep one eye on the goods at all times.  Lesson learned.
