As I've explained in a previous post, Adam's best friend in the world is his stuffed tiger.
So... we were driving down the road today on our way to pick Mary up from school and Alex opened the window beside him. It's a van window that only opens a few inches at the bottom. I didn't think too much of it until Alex started crying about Tiger. I looked in my rear view mirror, and there was Tiger sitting in the road. As luck would have it, we were in the right lane and it's a pretty wide lane at that point in the road. However, that stretch of road doesn't meet up with any parking lots or any convenient place to pull into so I could get out and retrieve Tiger. I had to turn around and then backtrack to the intersection BEFORE Tiger was dropped and park down a side street in front of a home belonging to people we don't know. I locked the boys in the van and then had to run around the corner and down the street at least 100 yards (if not more) and then wait for a window in traffic to dart out into the road and retrieve Tiger. Fortunately, Tiger is bright orange and people were avoiding him so no real damage was done.
Did I mention that I've have a horrible chest cold all week? Running and chest congestion don't mix very well.
I confess Alex got an earful about how we don't stick things outside the window while we're driving down the road!
There's no boredom in motherhood!
Wow! Haven't had that happen before. That Alex, is quite creative in his naughtiness.
