Copied from my post on a homeschool board I belong to.
Seriously....my boys are too much.
So today we left the house to hit garage sales early. I pull up in front of the first house. All the big kids pile out of the car. We look and I tell the kids to get back in the car. Then one of the kids starts telling me, "mom the van is locked" I was like....no it is not. I walk over and look inside and sure enough. Car is locked and running with Jon inside! Of course my cell phone is locked inside. I ask to borrow the phone of the house I was at.
I call 911. I told them that my 4 year old locked my 17 month old inside the car. She said, ok. 25 minutes later a police officer comes casually pulling in. He gets out and casually walks up and say..."Good thing you got all your kids out." I said...."Umm yea, except for the one in the car seat." <---police mans eyes as he peers into the back seat of the van.
He tells me, they did not dispatch there was a baby in the car. So he calls for some help. Another cop shows up. 2 cops both trying to slim jim into the van. They call for the chief to come help. Chief shows up trying to slim jim in the van too.
Then they send the cops from our town (we are only 2 miles apart) to my house to try and wake my husband up. Anyone married to anyone who works in law enforcement and works nights will agree, that they train themselves to sleep through everything. And he did. The officer banged on the window, rang the door bell, made the dogs bark and Rich did not wake. (sound much like a normal day at our house... )
So then the cop from my town came over to where we were. (Yes 4 cops and nearly 45 minutes have passed) He strolls up, pumps the door a little, sticks a wedge in, and sticks a long pole inside. Pops the lock and Jon was FREE!
BEWARE and CAUTION: This is our life. Weird stories, funny things that happen or the kids say, and just our plain day to day life. You have been warned.....
