When RG and I moved into the house we live in now, apparently the Canadian Prison Strap never made it into the LOCKED toy box. We didn't realize this cuz neither one of us came across it during the move.
RG's son was helping us move. As we were carrying boxes, furnitire, etc into the house, I went back to the bedroom and saw the prison strap lying on top of a box. Alarmed, I grabbed RG and whispered, "Did you bring that in??" He said, "No." and there was only one other person.....
It didn't help that his son was wheeling a dresser on the dolley and the top drawer opened up and there was a CB (Cracker Barrel Paddle), and a few leather slappers. He shut the drawere like he'd never even seen them.
To be honest, I don't think it's much of a secret to his kids, much as I think he likes to believe it is.
