What are the odds...

I think this is funny, maybe only a mom can find this amusing :) Today we had a packed day...Luke had his football game, and then we rushed home and the rest of us waited in the car while Luke went and changed his muddy clothes. He comes running out and then we were off to pick up one of my Young Women so we could take her to another Young Women's Winter Guard competition. I was so proud of my planning...we were going to get there just in the nick of time. When suddenly, as we are very close to the Young Women's house, Luke realizes that he forgot SHOES! How do you forget shoes???? That poor kid has been very forgetful lately...he forgot his baseball bag at baseball, his football bag at football, and his lunchbox at school. The only one we recovered was the baseball bag. So I shouldn't have been surprised at the forgetting of the shoes, but I had no time for this!!!! As we are one street away from the girls house I notice a garage sale. WHAT ARE THE ODDS of them having little boy size 13 shoes???? I drive up and sure enough there is a ratty pair of shoes for $1! SOLD to the desperate mom in the mini van :) Talk about a great day :) We were right on time to see Keriann perform :)

As I have said before, you are the all-time most calm and collected mom! Good for you, Sar!
Just curious, have you had to buy new athletic clothes after Luke's forgetful days? Yikes!

Greg and Wendy said...

Oh, and those shoes don't look very ratty! Really, what are the odds of finding the very size you need. I think Heidi is right!
