This is a lovely story all around, especially the unexpected twist. Not quite the same, but in 2016, traveling the world with our 11-yer old, we were very nervous about entering India, as the visa had been such a hassle. It was quite funny me with my British accents being asked if I knew about the East India Company - it was a truly sincerely wonderful welcome to india and the engagement of the people in history and geography - and we just got through to customs when my son realized he had left his waistpack behind in the toilet we used on the walk to immigration. It had his $500 camcorder in it. We were told to go get it and when we came back to immigration, waved through like we were old friends already. A lovely welcome to India. Cheers!

What a great story!
Ahh brothers. Did their relationship survive?
Yep... But this is one example of the phrase: "In our house, the only thing mellow about the teenage years was the drama."
Mooooooo.
You'll notice I didn't make any herding cats references...
Thank you!
