In case you were wondering...

About this comment to my earlier post, there's a bit of a story there. The party we went to today was the 7th birthday party of our best friend's older daughter. The party went well, compared to one we through here for my daughter a few years back.

It was November, and pretty warm. We took the kids outside so they could burn some sugar off. They were playing tag, and one of the girls (who has three older brothers) got a little wild and shoved one of the smaller boys to the ground. We had the separate the two, and bring all the kids in.

That's when we discovered that the boy was missing. We called his parents, figuring he might have run home - just a half block away). No, but they panicked. We started looking in the woods, across the street, and in the house. We finally found the boy hiding in a closet....

Much relief (and embarrassment) all the way around. We got apology letters from both kids, but we always felt like we screwed it up....
