so... today, my daughter called to ask if she could bring a boy home to work on a project... then, we could just take him home... now, besides the fact that I already had 6 kids plus myself in the car... oh, what the heck.... sure, Jess.
fast forward - "____, do you live close to us?"
"I dunno"
me- "what neighborhood do you live in?"
"don't think it has a name."
me - "okay - well, what is your zip code? that will give me an idea"
"what is a zip code? I dunno what you mean."
me - "okay, what is your street address?"
"3231 ______ Rd"
me - "is that over near Wheels? off Cheek Rd?"
"don't really know - maybe"
me - "thank the Lord for GPS on my phone...."
This child is 13 years old.
again fast forward - I did get the child home. Even though as I took the exit off 70, he told me that he did not recognize where we were and that I should maybe look at my phone again.... And even though, I have never met nor spoken to his parents... and did not have their number and they did not have mine...
parents - please make sure that your kids know their address by age 13... and they should be able to get me to your house... and you should never send them to my home or in my car without knowing me or at least my phone number...
it is no wonder that I am a little over protective of my kids....
