We had just flown back from somewhere and were at the baggage carousel waiting for our luggage.<\/h3>\r\nMore importantly, we were waiting for our two-year old\u2019s stroller. My husband and I were shattered from chasing our youngest daughter around airports, disentangling her from other people\u2019s luggage straps and convincing her that she really needed to let us know where she\u2019d hidden mummy and daddy\u2019s \u2018picture books\u2019 (passports).\r\n<h3>I think I noticed first.<\/h3>\r\nWith a hideous lurching in my belly I realised BUNNY-WUNNY WAS MISSING!\r\n\r\nOur daughter\u2019s best friend\/thing\/cuddly toy was not in the suitcase, not in my handbag, not in her hand, not anywhere. With horror, we worked out that, during the spectacular hissy fit our daughter had while we tried to disembark, Bunny-Wunny had fallen from her hand and been left on the plane. She hadn\u2019t noticed yet, but I could feel the panic rise up in my chest&#8230; it was only a matter of time before she would. My husband went pale, like he\u2019d just realised that he\u2019d swallowed a slug.\r\n\r\nWe went to the airline desk and a very nice lady took our and details. \u201cWe\u2019ll see what we can do\u201d she said calmly while noting Bunny-Wunny\u2019s details: \u201cGrey, kind of covered in dirt, not much stuffing left, smells a little bit of sick.\u201d\r\n<h3>It was all we could do.<\/h3>\r\nAs long as our daughter didn\u2019t notice, we could get home, order another one and it would all be fine&#8230; surely&#8230; like goldfish being replaced by other goldfish.\r\n\r\nWe ordered an identical bunny and it arrived the next day. Fresh and smelling of the warehouse it had come from, our daughter eyed it suspiciously.\r\n<blockquote>\u201cNot Bunny-Wunny,\u201d she announced.<\/blockquote>\r\nWe had to come clean.\r\n<blockquote>\u201cNo this is Bunny-Wunny\u2019s sister&#8230; er&#8230; Bunny-Wunny is on holiday.\u201d<\/blockquote>\r\nMy husband and I blurted out different stories at the same time in an effort to convince her that, wherever Bunny-Wunny was, she was ok. We were vague about the possibility of seeing the Real Bunny-Wunny again and pressed Box-Fresh Bunny into our daughter\u2019s hands.\r\n\r\nBut you know, you can\u2019t make your kid fall in love with a toy. They choose, not us. It was awful.\r\n\r\nDays went by until eventually, the best day of my life occurred. The doorbell went and the postman handed my husband a box.\u00a0 It couldn\u2019t be&#8230; surely. We opened it and inside was&#8230; actual, real, true original Bunny-Wunny! Lovingly returned by the airline at no cost to us! Utter joy!\r\n\r\nReunited, our daughter asked Bunny-Wunny if she\u2019d had a nice holiday and they have been together ever since.\r\n\r\nIf only life always had such happy endings.\r\n\r\nHeader Image Credit : Lara604\r\n<h3>What have you lost or left that your kids couldn\u2019t do without?<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I remember it like it was yesterday.
