Have you ever discarded, thrown or dumped something or someone that literally or figuratively boomeranged, surprising you?

A friend told me once that in the 1980’s, he and his girlfriend picked up an egg-shaped rock from a beach and had their initials carved on it. When they broke up he tossed the rock along the side of the road near his house.

Twenty years later, he was building a pond in his backyard when the young child of a friendly neighbor came over and playfully brought something to add to his pond decoration. It was the egg-shaped rock with initials intact.
