One week in late summer, I decided to go and visit Auntie Martha, in Ironwood, Michigan. I only took seven children, so the journey was very quiet!!!(comparatively speaking).
I stopped at Bill's shop for a quick once over (oil, air, tire pressure, etc.)
When I was leaving the shop, I asked Bill if I could have some "carry cash"..... He handed me a twenty, and I was a happy camper!!! We started off on our journey, and after about three hours I was getting low on fuel. I stopped in Stevens Point for gas and looked for my purse (I usually kept it under the drivers seat) wellllllllllllll.......I looked and looked, and my purse was NOWHERE to be found! I only put twenty dollars of gas in the van (since that's all I had) and we JUST made it to Ironwood on fumes!!
I couldn't figure out what had happened to my purse, and asked my Aunt if I could borrow some gas money....she acted kind of funny, so I just asked Bill to send more money up to me.Bill sent money up and everything was fine except that I had no credit cards, license, or extra cash....
I was ready to report a theft, but, Bethany (who was three at the time) looked at me with her big brown eyes and said "I didn't like that purse, so I threw it away"!! I wasn't sure if I believed her...until she described my purse, and how she decided that it should go bye-bye!
I'm sure I didn't have much cash, but everything else was gone!
To this day, Bethany is still the throw away queen!!!
If anyone needs to have a clean pottery barn style ask Bethany to help.....just protect the stuff you want to keep, though. If she doesn't like it, it could dissapear!!!
