Recently, when Joseph doesn't want to get up, I go into his room and tell him what time it is and do my best to get him up and going for the day. Well today when his alarm went off, I heard him get up, turn the alarm off and get back into bed, I decided to let him learn a lesson and I did not go in and wake him up.
Well at 7:35, 40 minutes after the bus was to pick him up, he got out of bed and was panicking that he was going to be late for school. So I got my stuff ready, Joseph ate breakfast and we walked out of the house, closed and locked the door and I then realize I left my keys and cell phone in the house. So now it's 7:55, 20 minutes before school starts, we're outside our house with no cell phone or keys.
Joseph and I walked down to the cabinet shop and borrowed a phone from an employee and called the radio station. David, my newsman, came and got us and brought us to the radio station, I then got in the station van and took Joseph to school.
Looking back I realize that if I had gotten Joseph up and got him on the bus this probable wouldn't have happened. So, is me that needed a lesson this morning or was it Joseph?

That is soooooo funny. I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to cry. That is what you get for not getting him up on time. I hope you enjoy the rest of the day. Maybe if you are lucky I will let you back in the house when I get home.I LOVE YOU. Sara
laughing adam.....such good fodder for a good discussion now.......perhaps this will be a moment where an unintended lesson will be learned for more than one student....the possibilities are endless and really quite exciting..I love that life offers us opportunity after opportunity...
Very funny! And good perspective on your part, Dad!
Good one! Dontcha hate it when you are trying to teach your kids a lesson and you end up being the "learner"? As a parent, this happens more often than I think we feel it should!
And I love Sara Beth's response! :)
AJ,
This is almost as funny as Santa Crack! ( :
Jt's Girl,
I don't think anything will ever touch Santa Crack or the fact that he had to explain to the little girl why Santa was eating at the Mexican restaurant. Santa Crack was a classic.
It's so nice to have friends and my wife bring up the more embarrassing moments of my life. It you all remember, that was the same day I locked my keys in my car and spent most of the day in the santa suit...
An absolutely wonderful story - thank you. As I dad-to-be, it is reassuring to know that not everything needs to go perfectly - or as planned.
So, what is this "Santa Crack"?
AJ,
But you gotta admit, Santa Crack gave us all a memory that will forever bring a chuckle! What a classic!
Oh, and aj's wife, it was the little girl wondering why he didn't have his beard that was soooo hilarious!
