The Perils of Christmas Shopping out of State

Well, at my job you can't get into the back room where they keep the games, without a key.  I being of a lowly rank do not own a key myself.  This means that I have to ask a superior if I can use their key.  It just so happens that my manager (not to be confused with my super hot assistant manager, Jon)  has a key chain on his keys. 

It is a many a mangled thing.  It used to be a Thing-1 and Thing-2 Key chain.  Their bodies were taken off during work, so they are just two heads, with the paint coming off.   I decided that I was sick of looking at them all day.  So I would get him a new Keychain for Christmas. 

You may have heard me say it before, but I'll say it again.  The mall I work at sucks.  It has two resturants in the "food court."  So I did most of my Christmas shopping out of state, when I went home for thanksgiving.  Being that it was a keychain, I just put it into my pocket after I bought it....no need to waste a bag.

Fast forward to today.... I finish making two presents (one for my mom and one for Jon) and decide I want to wrap them.  After I did so I thought I may as well wrap that keychain.  I got a perfect sized box out and set to unpacking the pair of jeans I had put it into.  BUT TO NO AVAIL!!!!!  

So I tore my room apart, basically looking for it.  Time to call in reinforcements.  I picked up the phone and called my Cheerleader sister, to ask her if she'd seen it.  She hadn't.  About two minutes after I had hung up I decided that I would just go to Des Moines and buy another exactly like it.  My sister called again to say that she had it in her hands....not that that helped, since it would become a new year's present at the rate I'd get it back down here.  So I went to Des Moines, got lost, got there, and purchased an identical key chain.  The moral of the story....

Don't trust potatoes.  They all lie.  Oh, and don't keep things in your pockets, you'll just end up buying another of whatever it was.
