I don’t know where he got his gift, but Craig is a human Google Search.
Maybe it’s because his mind isn’t cluttered with insignificant drivel like what it was Mom asked him to do THREE SECONDS AGO. No matter what I’ve misplaced, I’ve learned to plug it into the seven-year-old search engine and he’ll find it. My keys, my sunglasses, my favorite pen that grows legs and hides on me every-other day.
“I know where it is!” he proclaims, and runs off to retrieve it.
In other aspects of his life, he’s a total scatterbrain, so I’m not really sure why he has such a talent for finding my things. But I know that I do NOT have this gift, so we complement each other well. If only someone could step in to locate the shoes he loses on a daily basis.
Either way, I hope he always keeps his gift and the attitude he has about sharing it.

I would much rather have him around then buy one of those pair of SMART GLASSES I saw on the news.
It has a little video camera on it so you can check where you were when you dropped your keys. etc. BUT I WANNA KNOW who is going to help me find my glasses (with the smart on them)
That is what I’m always losing.

My five year old son is like that. He knows where everything is. Of course, he is in, under and on everything all the time, so he has a different perspective of the house than I, who refrains from climbing in, on and under the furniture and shelving.
