Buzz
A few years ago I bought a large Buzz Lightyear action figure from a charity shop and I took him to work with me for the many children who visit to play with.
One day a family with five kids came in and the children ransacked my box of toys and played happily until it was time for them to leave.
When I was showing them out I reclaimed the toys from each of their small hands.
Sadly I didn't think to frisk their father and as soon as I went back into my office I saw that Buzz was gone.
I was devastated and gobsmacked in equal measure. Devastated for the loss of Buzz and gobsmacked for the example that father was setting to his children.
Last week Laura bought me a new Buzz.
Happy days.
