I come to you today in my role as intercessor. Hambet has misplaced two toy trains. We’ve looked in all the usual places, to no avail. Please help!
Your devoted client,
Peony Moss
UPDATE, 12/19: One of the trains has been found (happily, the special favorite that gets taken to bed every night.) The other one is still missing. Hambet seems unperturbed. I’m not sure whether this is healthy detachment or a sign he has too many trains. Perhaps both.
UPDATE, 12/21: The other train has been found — by Hambet! Yay! And my cell phone did not stay missing for long either — hubby knew right where it was when I called him, so it turned up before I could post my petition.
