Where the heck is the key with the red silk tassel that always remains in our curio cabinet? ALWAYS!
Today I decided to polish the silver and remove some items that are way too crowded in the curio cabinet.
Hubby and I looked all over for the key that always remains in the lock, but to no avail. Did I mention that it always remained in the lock?
We deduced that only one of my grandkids could have taken it when they last visited and probably our grandson. We have no proof.
Rather than confront him now via text or phone, since he’s busy with online school, we called our decorator. She will try to obtain another key if possible. If not, we will need a locksmith. However, it will be a long time before I would let one into our home.
We should know by Friday. One way or the other, we will have to confront our grandson and granddaughter.

The first thing I did was check under it. I even checked the pockets of the clothes I wore when I last dusted, what I wore when they came over, and inside the washing machine and dryer. He loves interesting things including my gemstones. I'm sick over this.

@DianneN I am so sorry. I thought you would have checked. I also check inside the pockets when I cannot find a key. My husband could not find his keys yesterday, I checked everywhere, they were in side the car.
I am sure you are sick over this, it's not nice to check your things, he must learn not to touch your things when he visits.

That can be a difficult thing. Hopefully you can find the keys soon

Hoping that that key turns up much sooner than later things like that do happen.

@DianneN
Is it a decorative key you know a nice design he might like it for some reason known only to him of course.
Maybe the key turns up where you least expect it.

@lovinangelsinstead21 That's what I thought, but my granddaughter told me they didn't play with the key. Still a huge mystery.

Well that is kind of disturbing. Do you think they will own up to it?

@DianneN It may! Anything else that could have happened to it?

The key always remains in the curio, and we have looked everywhere and in everything. Twice!
I can only guess why one of the kids would have taken it. It had such a beautiful red and gold silk tassel that took me years to find. Maybe they didn't think I'd miss it. It happened on the day I let them choose soap to bring home. As you said, kids will be kids. None of them have ever taken anything without asking before, so I'm so puzzled, but will try to find out after dinner.

This is the first time either of them have done this - IF they have. I just don't know who else would have taken the key. No one has been inside our home except them and our younger son's girlfriend who only used our powder room and went back through the kitchen out to the deck.

I hope you find your key. How frustrating that it's missing but it seems weird that your grandson would have taken it.

How exhausting, both physically and mentally. I still would hope it would show up and he did not take it.

At times, one has to take a few hard decisions. Any chance that you placed and arranged that key somewhere else, some time in distant past?

Oh my gosh . . . that'd be on my mind til its resolved . . . especially since that key is supposed to always be there. It's good that it has a red tassel on it - it makes it easy to spot. But where oh where could it be?! I know kids will sometimes touch stuff and leave it "somewhere" - if that is the case, I hope it is remembered where that "somewhere" could be.2 people like this

I would just ask them if they have seen it. Might have put it somewhere safe for you.

@DianneN They are used to it being there so it should not be that interesting to them. I know you probably did but check on top too. Hope you find it soon. I can just see Doodles sitting in a corner laughing at you looking for his new toy. I know its possible as Bambi is still trying to trip me at times.
