This morning Andrew opened the front door—with car keys in hand—while instructing the children to get into the van, get into their own seats, and buckle up. He stopped mid-sentence, the remote poised in the air, mouth hanging wide open.
"What...?" he sputtered. "Where's...? Whaaa? The van is gone!"
For a minute ourcalm household dissolved into chaos, confusion, and panic.
"The van's gone! The van's gone!" the children chanted.
My heart also leapt to my throat when I glanced out the door and saw the empty driveway.
But then...
"Oh, there it is!" someone pointed out (I can't remember who).
There it was, parked right across the street. Andrew had moved it yesterday afternoon so the birthday party kids could draw on the driveway with sidewalk chalk. We just forgot to move it back when we were finished, that's all. Phew!
It's the little things that keeps life interesting.
