Day 54 - 10:19, 23 February 2019
Little Mister loses his mobile on the way home. It's his first phone and he's had less than two months. PANIC!!!! For someone who is the epitome of calm, Mr Rock Steady, everyone says so, he goes to pieces pretty quickly. I am less worried. It is locked and in all honesty is nowhere near the latest model. I can't see anyone going out of their way to steal it, so I expect it will turn up sooner or later. But as his desperation increases, I begin to wonder at what point I will be able to get him home, if we don't find it. By this stage, he is practically on his hand and knees searching through the long grass to find it.
We find it eventually, and it must be pretty close to the point where he discovered he didn't have it. It is a red phone case sticking out of the green grass. It's actually quite hard to miss. He sees the phone and runs to it, lovingly scooping it into his hands, like a grateful father being reunited with his missing child. He is still visibly shaking, sweaty and close to tears as he types his pass code in. He tries to play it cool, but now we know he's human after all.
