Confession

The Mr. and I retrieved a toy out of the dumpster.  We didn't actually have to go INTO the dumpster to get it, so we're still virgin dumpster divers (a title I hope to never relinquish).  This is the toy that caused a boy to cry, a mother to search online for a replacement and two parents to forage through piles of trash to salvage.

 It's a HEADLESS Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.  The head had been missing for MONTHS.  So when I purged stuff out of our home, it was on my hit list.  I didn't think it would be missed.  I thought I'd rid our house of headless Leonardo and find a replacement.  The first search I did, I found this.  It's price, $59.95.  I kept searching and the least expensive, that was in stock, was $18.95 + shipping.  Apparently, they no longer make plastic representations of these amphibious, reptilian, bad-dude fighting heroes.  Apparently, people now collect them ... That's when it was decided to fish a headless, plastic turtle out of the dumpster.

A few days later, the head was found.  

AND ... as long as no one knocks it around too much, Leonardo pretty much looks the way it did when it was given to B on his 3rd birthday:  

Now all we need to find are the swords, helmet and gun ...
