“Doritos are better than Cracker Jacks”

A person never plans to lose things.  It just seems to happen.  Sometimes the things you lose show up in the strangest places.

Our youngest teen recently received his learner’s permit (more about that in a future post).  He actually has something in his billfold that requires him to have it with him when he leaves the house, his learner’s permit. He is a kid that never loses anything, but he seems to be forgetting where he left his billfold more and more.  Maybe it is a billfold problem. [see previous blog on that topic]  He normally finds it quickly, in a usual place.  This was NOT the case with a set of his brother’s prescription swim goggles.

We were on vacation at the beach several years ago when our oldest teen’s prescription goggles went missing.  He would not go swimming in the ocean or the pool without his goggles.  He could not see without them.  So it was our number one priority to find them.  We looked everywhere.  

The beach bag.  Nope.  

The towels.  Nope.  

Pockets. Nope.  

The hotel room.  Nope.  

Housekeeping.  Nope.

Security.  Nope.

Lost and Found.  Nope

We searched through everything.  No luck.

One of our favorite snacks at the beach is Cool Ranch Doritos.  We would always take a couple of bags with us.  Later, during this vacation, we were back in our room and our younger teen was hungry so he grabbed the Doritos.

What did we find?  Yep, you got it.  His brother’s goggles.  How is the world did they get in there?  No one thought to look in there!

See, I told you, Doritos are better than Cracker Jacks.  You’ve never pulled prescription swim goggles out of a Cracker Jacks box.
