Keys.....

We only have one set of keys for our car,

Last night we learned how important it is to have two.

You see, last night I had dinner on the table,
and through the door comes my darling husband
sporting that mischievious grin.

"What's up" I inquired..

It just so happened that day
as he was leaving his job
he locked the keys in his car.

Luckily, he got a ride home with a compassionate staff member.

Unfortunately, the car was left in a deserted parking lot
in a small rural town
with lots of electonics and cash within
enough to entice any petty criminal.

So daddy loaded the van with the necessities
like coat hangers, duct tape and the phone # of the locksmith
and all five of us set out.

"We are playing a game"
we told the kids.

"Daddy lost his car and we are going to go find it"

Our three began to scan the rural countryside for daddy's car.
As we entered that small town
one of them pointed and squealed in delight.

"I found it, I found it" she said.

We pulled up behind the car and as I pulled out books for the kids
daddy skillfully went to work with the coathanger and duct tape.
In no time at all
"Pop" went the lock and we were home free.


So today, on his way home from work

Daddy is going to get a couple of keys cut for his car

and tonight we are going to play a boardgame with the kids.
