I have kept this stand because I just couldn't understand where the little hat went? The only thing I could think of was that one of the damn kitties (Spike!!) found it and took it somewhere to eat play with. I looked under the stand, in toy boxes - all over the house - but it was nowhere to be found.
Saturday, I finally decided it was time to throw the stand away. Again, I asked the Demon - "Are you sure you've never seen the hat!?" He replied like always - "I have no idea what you're talking about!! I've never seen a hat!!" In the trash it went.
About 11pm that night the Demon went to put Truck out one last time. He said "HERE is a hat." I had no idea what he was talking about. I said "So? Hang it on your stand there." (A familiar conversation in our house.) I was confused. He said "NO, the stupid little hat that you've been talking about? I don't know, I've never seen this before."
WTF?! I ran to see..and sure enough...
.. there it was!!?? Why did it just appear? Where has it been for the past 2 years or so? Why would it appear on the dining room floor.. the same room we've been in all day? The same room that I was standing in, just hours before, and decided to throw the stand away!!?? I ran to the garbage can - WHICH was empty because I had just replaced the bags (another crazy coincidence) and took the stand back out!
Okay, so it's probably ugly.. but DAMNIT.. I'm so happy I found it!! My grandma gave this to me years ago and I held on to that stand with the hopes of eventually finding it.
Saturday, April 2, 2011... I did.
