I have a local friendly playgroup. I was feeling very proud of myself for managing to change two toddlers without having a poonami or leaving a big mess or any clothes behind. There are several mums waiting to use the facilities so I rush out.
Later as we are about to leave I notice that DS is upset as he can't find his favourite toy. I ask all the team members and no one had seen anything.
Luckily the last person I ask says he heard another boy say to his Mum "look what I found". The boy describes the same toy and says he just found it in the baby change/toilet. The staff member tells him someone will be missing it and for his mum to hand it into the lost property but doesn't take it off them and do it himself. Adds if no one claims it in 2 weeks he can keep it. It would have been obvious the toy was left by a playgroup user.
The staff member explains to me that the Mum has left, but is a regular and they toy will no doubt turn up.
My DS was really upset. I go in every day for 3 weeks. It was never handed in.
I know I should have been more careful, but AIBU to hope that
a) you don't just keep something that isn't yours
b) if you work somewhere and a customer finds something you put it in the lost property.
Am totally skint so will have to save to replace. Any other playgroup CF stories to cheer me up?
