Grounded! I honestly thought my worst parent nightmare had come true. The boys were playing with their lightsabers out front and I was listening to them while getting some stuff done inside. All of the sudden it was too quiet. I went outside, calling their names. No answer. I started running around the complex calling their names. No answer. I am now picturing some child molester driving away with them in his car. I ran back inside, grabbed my keys and cell phone, and called Ryan while running to the car. He called my parents who live a mile away. They got in their car and headed over to help. I drove around the complex a few times. They were nowhere to be seen. I parked and started on foot again. This time, they answered my calls and were right on the doorstep. My parents arrived and we had them show us where they were hiding. It's behind this enormous electrical box. Behind the box is a big hole with the cover off. There are all kinds of wires in there. Not good. Needless to say, both boys are grounded from outside play for 2 days. The lightsabers have been taken away. Bottom line is that if they can't be trusted to play outside alone, then they will only be able to play outside when my housework is done. past | future0 comments Listening to: Reading: Eating/drinking: Do what to me?!? - April 24, 2007 Wicked funny websearch - April 05, 2007 Trot out the dogs 'n ponies - March 31, 2007 Almost done... - March 20, 2007 Who am I? - March 12, 2007 READ ME |
