“Yeah,” you say. “You’re probably right Dad.”

You sit back, relax and let your food digest. You and your family talk about what everyone’s plans are for the weekend, what’s been going on in work and school.

After awhile it starts to get chilly and everyone decides to move inside.

“Now can we do a quick check for Fritz?” you ask.

“Well, I guess it couldn’t hurt to go do a quick sweep of the house for him,” your mom says.

“I’ll check the bedrooms!” you say.

“I’ll check the bathrooms,” your sister says.

“I’ll check downstairs,” your brother says.

“I’ll check the rest of the house,” your mom says.

“I’ll be in the family room eagerly awaiting your updates,” your dad says. “Oh, and I will check the TV too, maybe Fritz is there.” 

Everyone heads off to search for Fritz.

You check your bedroom. No Fritz in the closet. No Fritz under the bed. No Fritz behind dressers or desks.

You head to your sister’s room. Again, no Fritz anywhere. As you head to your brother’s room, that’s when you hear from a distance:

“Hey! I found him!” your brother shouts.
