KEYS ARE GONE!!!

Oh No! Where Did They GO?!

Hi! I'm Jerome Skinly and I'm seven! Today was a good day. I went to the park and swung SO high! Then we got ice cream! Chocolate with sprinkles! But… now… OH NO!

I can't find my keys! Mommy says I'm not supposed to have keys, but she lets me carry them sometimes! She says I'm a big helper! I help her open the door when we get home from the park and stuff.

But now… they’re GONE! We came home, I had the keys, I know I did! I was swinging them around like a little airplane, making “VROOOM!” sounds. And then… I think I put them somewhere safe. That's what I tried to do.

But now I looked everywhere! Under the couch cushions? Nope. In my toy box? Nope! Even in the fridge (I thought maybe I was REALLY hiding them!)? Still nope!

Mommy is looking too. She's checking her purse and asking me, "Did you have them when we were getting the mail?" I don't remember! I was looking at a cool firetruck!

She said maybe they fell out of my pocket at the park. That would be REALLY bad! We would have to go ALL the way back to the park! And it's getting dark!

She's calling the park now, to see if anyone found them. I'm hoping really, really hard that someone did. Maybe a nice lady with a dog found them!

Mommy says if we really can’t find them, we have to change the lock on the door. That sounds like a lot of work. And it's kinda scary to think someone else could get in!

I'm going to keep looking. I have to find them! They're important! And Mommy said if I find them, I get an extra sprinkle on my ice cream tomorrow! That would be the BEST!

Wish me luck! I’m going to check under my bed one more time… maybe they flew under there! VROOOM!
