Missing: Portions of One Green Popsicle (and That's Not Good)

Several days ago an irate two-year old demanded a popsicle in the first-floor kitchen of our home. She proceeded out to the patio to eat same, as is her usual habit. Her mother went about preparations to leave for work (yes, she had a popsicle before 8 am -- so WHAT?!?!). The toddler eventually returned to the house sans popsicle. Her mother quickly checked the backyard for popsicle, wrapper, or stick and found none. Then checked the playroom. And the bathroom. The whole first floor. No popsicle, sticky spot, or popsicle-remnants were visible. Argggggghhhhhhhhh!!!

What happened to that thing?!?! Did it melt under a couch cushion? Was it abducted by alients? Did she actually finish it all? The toddler's mother is equal parts relieved and concerned that after one week, the popsicle and any portions thereof have not resurfaced. Also, the housecleaners did not find it three days later, which is also good. I hope so anyway . . .

Aliens do like green

However it is more likely that her evil twin came to visit and bribed her for a bite. The agreement is that the twin will cover this one if she covers the next one :)

Does said toddler have a dog? Squirrels? Sandbox with sticky shovel?

I am in shock that it hasn't resurfaced yet. Somehow I feel there will be a part 2 to this post! lol!

I was thinking along the same lines as Paula...does said toddler have a pet? Is in in a flower pot?

Ok...being the mom of 2 Boys, my guess is she chucked it over the wall. My temper-tantrum-boy would do that if he wanted red and discovered the popsicle was green!

Glad to see you're back and posting again!

We need to call in Jack Bauer to solve this mystery.
