Bilingual life and more

Yes, I understand that every now and then we all loose stuff. Unfortunately, this problem has become a constant partner for our two girls for a few months now.  They have lost way too many jackets and even shoes. They are nowhere to be found in the lost and found in school, and don’t show up at friends houses.

Does anyone have a remedy to this?

I have tried telling them that I will not get any new ones, but it does not seem to do the trick.  They will still just take them off and leave them and not remember where they left them. It is really bugging me. I don’t like to buy things twice, especially, if I can’t find them that nice again for the price I paid at the end of last season.

Especially, we will need all those clothes when we go to Germany at the end of the school year. Who knows what the weather will be like? It might be cold – literally sweater season – it might be warm, T-Shirt and Jeans season, or it might be really warm. Most likely, it will be a mixture of all of them. If you have been in Germany for 4 weeks in the summer, you can attest to that. Wait, if you have been in the Lower Rhine region in Germany in the summer, you can certainly attest to that.

In all, I hope the jacket loosing spree has come to an end.
