ONTARIO – In a shocking turn of events, a wallet that was lost 40 years ago by an Ontario family has been mysteriously returned. The family is overjoyed because now they can finally relive their memories of the 80s by looking at old pictures of themselves and their big hair.
The wallet contained a whopping $13.60 in cash and various membership cards from long defunct shops. Who wouldn’t want to hold on to such a priceless relic? The family is still trying to piece together how the wallet, which was lost in 1980, suddenly reappeared on their doorstep. Rumour has it that the wallet was spotted at a local thrift shop under the “vintage” section. The family reckons it must have been accidentally donated by someone who was trying to make a quick buck off their valuable belongings.
The family, which had given up hope of ever finding the wallet, is now planning to have a party to celebrate its return. The party will feature 80s music, neon lights, and plenty of shoulder pads. The big question now remains what they should spend their newly acquired riches on. One suggestion is that they keep the money and donate the wallet to a museum or sell it on eBay for a tidy profit.
However, not everyone is excited about the wallet’s return. A local man, who wished to remain anonymous, was overheard saying: “Who cares about a wallet from the 80s? That was like, ancient history!”. He went on to suggest that the wallet was probably nothing more than a cheap knockoff and would be better off left at the thrift store. This type of negative attitude is not what we need in these trying times of pandemic. This wallet represents hope, the hope that no matter how lost something may seem, it can always find its way back home.
The wallet’s appearance has sparked renewed interest in 80s fashion, which some in the community are hailing as a welcome change from the drab and mundane clothing of the current decade. People have already started raiding their parents’ closets for old neon windbreakers, high-top sneakers, and fanny packs.
One fashion aficionado, who goes by the moniker “Madonna20” on Instagram, has already started a “throwback Thursday” campaign, where she posts pictures of herself dressed in classic 80s attire. She even went as far as dying her hair blue to match the style of the era.
In conclusion, the return of the lost wallet is not just a story of a family being reunited with a lost item. It is a story of hope, of a simpler time, and of fashion. Who knows, maybe one day the fashion of the 80s will make a complete comeback and future generations will look back at us and wonder, “how could they have ever dressed like that?”.
