Micah works really close to Scout’s school, so if there are times when I have a few minutes to waste, I stop in for a surprise visit.
But now that Scout is older and more responsible, I let him escort Dash or Navy in.
They love to pop in and get treats, and Micah loves seeing them, and I love a few minutes of peace while Pippi sleeps in the back seat.
It was a win win for all involved.
Until I learned from a coworker named Wade Decker that he heard the microwave door open and close a bunch one day. After wondering what it was, he got up to check it out. Apparently it was my kids trying to pop their own popcorn. When he asked if he could help, they agreed because “[their] dad isn’t in his office”. And when he commented that he was impressed they found the place, Scout explained that it took them a really long time and a few offices before they did. Upon investigating, I found out that he went to the right place at first, but then left and looked around because Micah wasn’t there so they must have gotten it wrong. When they came down with a bag of burnt popcorn, I didn’t think much about it except that Micah had blown the popcorn. Then Scummy called me with “the funniest story from Wade Decker”. Oh crap! Looks like I will need to call Micah to make sure he isn’t away at a meeting the next time I let my little guy escort anyone to Daddy’s office!
