About two years ago, June's Uncle Brett won her a stuffed animal at an arcade center. That stuffed animal was Froggie. Froggie is a hero. He is King around here. Diety, if you will. I would love to study the psychology of children and know exactly how/why it is that some toys get thrown aside and forgotten about it and some, well, some make it to King Froggie status.
Froggie has to go everywhere we go. We waits in the car when we go to restaurants. He never misses a family vacation. He cuddles June while she watches TV. And don't you ever ever ever think that June could fall asleep with Froggie. No siree, ain't gonna happen Bob!
Naturally, this has caused a bit of trouble for us. Mainly it has led to many many Froggie searches. June takes him everywhere. And subsequently leaves him everywhere. I can't even tell you how many times we have have to practically call in the freaking search and rescue to hunt that guy down. Searches in cars, toy rooms, closets, laundry baskets, etc, etc, etc. One time we found him in the crock pot, I kid you not!
That's why we've finally wised up with Tile.
Tile is this magical little device that you attach to your frequently lost items, sync with your phone, and KABOOM, you can find your item just by logging in to the app on your phone. The world's best-selling blue tooth tracker! Technology these days, folks!
(P.S. by the way Greg has mentioned that he wants to "invent" this product probably 40 times in our marriage and I always say, "Greg, I know someone has invented that already. So when we got this Tile he was almost offended, "THEY STOLE MY IDEA!" Oh, Greg. Slow to the punch, but yes, this is the best idea ever.)
People who don't have King Froggie living in their home may choose to use Tile on a more traditional frequently-lost-item. You know. Wallets. Keys. Cell phones. That's the beauty of it. It can attach to any of those items SO easily, or you can thread a string through it, put it around Froggie's neck and make it the collar for your three year old's Froggie. Its uses are endless, my friends!
Also you can use Tile and the Tile app to be a part of the world's largest lost-and-found community, where friends and strangers come together to find everything that matters. Tile and the community of Tile users helps locate two million items every day. TWO MILLION.
Now don't mind me while I go buy a Tile for my passport, my cell phone, my shoes, my laptop charger, Greg's favorite Jazz hat, etc, etc, etc, etc....
