Carry-on luggage

Today, as I was continuing to pack, I was complaining to Toad about how much I dislike packing. He, being the little guy that he is, was unfamiliar with the whole packing process. He was asking about the suitcases. So, I explained to him that the little suitcase was going to be my "carry-on". I proceeded to share with him that I put my most important travel items in my carry-on because those are the items that I would be really upset about losing, if my luggage were to get lost. And since I have experience with lost luggage and airlines not reimbursing for the most expensive and/or most sentimental items, I lectured him about always putting his most important items in his carry-on and keeping it close at hand when traveling. After finishing my spiel about all of this, I went to the laundry room to grab something I needed to pack. When I returned to the bedroom, this is what I found.
Mom, I packed your most precious cargo.

Now, I just have to get comfortable in here.

I'm in! Can you zip me up?

Just kidding, mom. I'm outta here! I guess I'm going to be your real "carry-on".
