charliesmumSo, I had this bath scrubber thing. It was purple and had a cloth piggy on it, and it was old and disgusting and I'd tried to throw it away several times but Charlie kept rescuing it from the trash.
Finally however, I decided that it Really Must Go, because it was just old and gross, so I threw it in the outside trash.
Fast forward to a few minutes ago. Charlie was in the shower. "Mom? Where's the purple piggy?"
I told him I threw it out.
There was silence for a few moments, and then I hear this sobbing.
Charlie really, really liked the purple piggy.
So, the last few minutes were spent comforting a crying Charlie and finally he says to me, "What will make me happy?"

but in the mean-time if feel for charlie, and of course poor piggy and mum possibly feeling relieved at the gross piggy gone and a mild dose of guilt??
smiles and hugs.
