gold pendant

A few days ago my daughter came home from school and I could tell that something was bothering her. I didn't want to ask her about it, because I knew when she was ready to talk about it, she'd tell me. Sure enough, when I was making dinner she came into the kitchen and said she had something to tell me. Then she dropped the bombshell- she'd lost my gold pendant. My first question was which gold pendant was she talking about, since I had several. Then she admitted that it was Diamond Circle Silhouette Pendant that my husband found at Ultra Mall whose online store can be found by visiting http://theultramall.ispeedway.com. For a moment I couldn't even speak. After all, her dad had given me that gold pendant not even a week before for our 25th wedding anniversary, and not only had she taken the gold pendant without asking, but she'd also lost it.

My daughter began apologizing profusely about the gold pendant and I asked her when she'd lost it and where. She said that she had the gold pendant in her room and then it just disappeared. I looked at her with disbelief. She insisted that was what happened to the gold pendant, but I didn't believe her. Since it was close to time for my husband to come home, I decided that she could be the one to tell her dad that she not only borrowed my brand new gold pendant without asking, but that she also had lost it. I also told her that she would definitely be punished, and that she would be grounded and would have to work around the house to make money to replace the gold pendant that she'd lost. I went on to tell her that her dad worked hard to be able to give that to me as an anniversary gift, and that I didn't even have it a week and she'd lost it. In fact, I'd worn the gold pendant one time, and that was the night he'd given it to me.

When her dad came home, he kissed me and before he could even speak to her, she blurted out that she'd lost the pendant and that she'd taken it without asking. He didn't say anything at first, but then began lecturing her about taking things without asking. By this point she was crying, because he'd also grounded her. He walked away and came back, with the gold pendant dangling from his fingers. He said that he'd found it laying on her dresser and figured she'd borrowed it without asking, so he took it and put it back in my jewelry box. He wanted to make her sweat and wonder what happened to it in order to teach her a lesson. All I could think about was how happy I was that the gold pendant wasn't lost after all. She was thrilled as well and I'm sure learned her lesson.  Kids!
