Pot at home in Rochester
If you squint so hard your eyes water, you might see it: Our new tea pot looks like a bomb. Squint a little harder and Pot’s spout multiplies and her bomb-like shape evolves into one of those mines that floats around in oceans, bobbing up against vessels and blowing them to Davey Jones’ locker. Really, you can see it, if you try.
Our Pot came to us from Annie, our daughter, and our friend Trevor. Annie had traveled to Seattle with Trevor for a wedding. Tea Pot caught their eye as they visited the shops, and they bought her as a gift for us. After taking the ferry across the sound from Seattle to Bremerton where Trevor’s parents live, Annie momentarily set Pot down on the Manette bridge when they stopped to look into the waters of the Sound and up into the star lit sky above Seattle. Pot was forgotten and left behind. In the bustle to catch their return flight the next morning, Pot’s absence went unnoticed.
When they returned to Rochester, Annie looked for Pot. She asked if Trevor had seen the package with the tea pot. He hadn’t. He called his mother and asked if they had left the package with the gift at her home. Trev’s mother said, no, but she thought she might know where the tea pot was.
As it happened, in the wee morning hours just before the buildup of morning business traffic backed up commuters waiting to board the ferry to start their work day in Seattle, one alert traveler spotted an oddly placed parcel. Admittedly, Pot was then clad in a box, but that served only to heighten Pot’s mystery. Nonetheless, our citizen did the right thing. He called the police. The Bremerton police recognized the parcel for what it may be and called in the bomb squad.

It’s just a tea pot.” Pot was stuck in an evidence bag and carted off in the custody of the local police.
Trevor’s mother pieced together the reports from the local media and Annie’s missing tea pot. She retrieved Pot from the Bremerton Police evidence bin and sent it on to Annie, who gave it to us wrapped in Pot’s very own evidence bag.
