Irony

A few nights ago, all of us headed to Target to purchase a few things. Rare that we are all together shopping and rare that we are all in the car together. So, we finished shopping, headed back to the car and realized. . . the keys were sitting on the seat INSIDE the locked car!!!

Ummm, crap! No cell phone, no extra keys, no friends, NADA. So walk it is. About 2 and a half miles. In the dark. With one toddler that needs to be carried and two (sometimes) whiny kids. Past bedtime. At this point, I was almost in tears.

So, we start the journey home. And we walked, and we walked, and we walked.

And suprisingly, no whining. We all survived and ironically, had a very enjoyable evening together.

Weird.

Fun that you found the good in the situation. It is always great when kids cooperate in tough times.
