horrible nicknack

This morning (sunday) as we are getting ready for church Carson found a bead. He proclaimed it to be a seed, and decided to give it as a surprise to his friend Jack at church. he talked about watching it grow after they planted it in the ground, and thought it would be nice if he could find another one for Jack's younger sister Mary and Logan to share.
He put it down beside a pair of swim shorts (it was laundry day yesterday and there are still a few things out of place) and the bead got stuck in the cloth somewhere.
"this is what you call a horrible nicknack." Carson said after a moment of searching, "it hides in horrible places."
As I am writing this, after finding the bead and having Carson so relieved to have his gift back "because everyone just loves a gift," he has just lost it again under the heater. "Mom, I just lost my horrible nicknack" he said again, "could you please hurry up before that horrible nicknack is gone for good??"
so here I go to save the day again, and restore something that isn't really horrible at all to my generous little guy.
