All that to say... here's my solution to losing kids who may just not want to be found:

i'm inspired.
Okay, so apparently these Mommy Business Cards are the thing to have. I decided to take Becky's idea of a Family Contact Card and tailor it to my children, who are little wandering nomads. I'm going to print these on stickers and stick them to my kids' backs the next time we go to the zoo, the pool or Millpond Park. (I break out in hives just thinking about trying to keep track of my kids there.) Ocean and I have had a few talks about what to do if he gets lost ("FInd another mommy, because all the mommies are friends and we help each other") but the reality is that he'd rather eat peanut butter than talk to someone he doesn't know. (I know, I don't get it either. Peanut butter is delicious.) And Iris... well, she might actually tell you her name if you ask, but she's more likely to yell MOO! and then fly away on her broomstick, cackling wildly as she disappears into the night.

these are so funny! girl, you are so clever! what a great idea! when it is not 1,000 degrees, i take my kids to the zoo and seaworld with great frequency (spoiled, aren't they?) and these stickers are perfect for our outings. ok, they might be handy while we go on our Target outings as well.
Hilarious! But you know, it is genius to think of printing them on stickers and putting them on the kids! I think I'm going to just stash a pack of "Hello my name is. . ." stickers in my bag and write on them with a sharpie, then stick them on the back of Hank's shirt at the park.
I love them!! But I think I liked your first attempt better. :)
those rock!! not only hilarious, but a really good idea.
So cool! Totally made me laugh.
And I'll just confess right now, I'm going to steal your idea,possibly even word-for-word. Well, I'll change the name to Ellie ... and put my name and phone number in. :-)
