When we were in San Francisco we went to China town and bought a couple of jade animals for the kids. We were only home long enough to go to church and pick up the kids before we were in Chicago. So Amber and Julie got their animals in Chicago. Julie promptly broke off her turtle's head. Amber enjoyed hers for a few days, she left it at a restaurant. Then one night she flushed the toilet and dropped her cat, it bounced off of the toilet seat and into the drain. It was flushed away. She was devastated. To this day she talks about the cat. Once she said that Jesus could get her cat back. That was enough to get Kristy looking on ebay. So today the cat from big China arrived. She was so excited and voluntarily promised never to drop it down the toilet again.

If I were to get something back that I'd flushed down the toilet, well, I'd just flush it again. Does she realize its a replacement or does she think its the same old sewer-dweller? I can see her telling her progeny "This is the cat I flushed down the toilet when I was 4. Jesus got it back for me. He sent it in the mail. Always thought that was a little weird." When she accidently flushes her wedding ring she'll tell her husband, "No biggie, I expect it'll be in the mail box in 4-6 weeks."
lol, I think she knows it's a new "kitty", we tell her this one is from China, as if that's special.
