Lost Keys?
This morning Matt was frantically searching the house for his truck keys. He was supposed to be at work at 6:30 and it was now 7:00 and he had searched the house for 20 minutes looking for the keys. Matt is always locking the keys inside his truck or the van and he thought that maybe last night when he went to lock everything up he accidentally locked them inside. He made a call to the locksmith and hoped they would be inside. The locksmith arrived and charged $50 for a service call and they didn't find the keys. To have another key made that will start the truck would have been another $130!!! So Matt decided to take another look inside the house. When we came inside to start looking again Parker woke up. Matt asked him if he knew where his keys were. Parker got a smile on his face and said "Yes!" He then went into his bedroom and moved a few toys around and unburied Matt's truck keys. He said, "I took them so that I could see you." I wanted to be so mad at him for costing us $50 and for making Matt an hour late for work(he had called and told them the situation). Matt wanted to cry, he felt so bad for not being around enough that his 5 year old son has to hide his truck keys in order to see him. We had a talk with Parker and explained why that was not a good thing to do. But it did work I guess because he did get to see his dad before work. He is one smart kid....he's a stinker, but he is smart. Lesson to learn, spend more time with your kids, they crave the attention. That is exactly what we are going to do this weekend and we can hardly wait!!
