last year, i went to tokyo with kiki. on this tokyo trip, she and i did a lot of shopping. this included the purchase of one very cute fabric sun hat for the bargain price of about $10USD. after coming back in april, summer was around the corner and out this hat came. i took it with me every where i went, to the park, to LA when visiting ted, e v e r y w h e r e. and one day, it went missing. i searched and searched but it was no where to be found. i felt awful for having it for a couple of months and then poof! it was gone.
this past weekend, there was a bbq upstairs at my brother's place. most of the siblings with their significant others/spouses were there, on our side and my sister-in-law's side of the family. the next day, yesterday, i saw the hat sitting in the living room on a chair. i recognized the striped lining and asked my brother where this came from. i went crazy thinking, this is my hat from japan!! the tag was in japanese and was a size s/m, which is exactly what i remembered it to be. then he mentioned that it might belong to my other sister-in-law because she wears hats like that one. i thought, this is true.
i then went downstairs to my apartment and remembered where i kept my receipts from japan. i remembered it was from uni-globe and that it was 100,00 yen. i found the receipt and couldn't decipher the japanese. then i found some numbers on the tag that matched the receipt!! i knew it was my hat!!
now, i don't know how to approach my sister-in-law about it. i'm thinking that i will wait for her to ask about it if it truly does belong to her... i just hope it will not be taken away from me again.
