Riddle Me This

6593794Yesterday was a blustery day here in the mile high city and so being the good mother that I am, I sent three little boys to school with each of them a pair of mittens.  For those counting that would have been six mittens total.  Last night as the snow was falling and the temperatures were dropping three little boys wanted to play in the back yard.  “Where are your mittens little boys?” I asked.  Middle brother proudly showed me his two mittens and asked for help getting them on.  Big brother looks at me with a puzzled look, “Mittens, don’t you have my mittens?”  “No child, that is your responsibility!”  “Good thing you kept the receipt mom, you can just tell them I lost them and the store will give you new ones.”  “Oh no child, this is not how things work.”  Little brother comes to me proudly showing me one mitten… “Look mom I have one!”  “Child you went to school with two, when I picked you up there were two… where is the other one?”  “Me not know!”
How, oh how does this happen?  In one day we went from six mittens to three!  This momma is going to loose her mind, and no there is no receipt for it!
