Of
course, the situation was not without a big of drama, as you can
imagine. There was a message on the phone from AH asking if N wanted
to join them at the fair. Now AH has a boyfriend and is a few years
older, but her sister IH, who is a good friend of N's, was wondering
if he would join the party. Then, to add to the fun, their other
friend, NMP, who is also a good friend, was going, as well. N was
enthusiastic about going, and this initiated the logistical drama
that seems to be an integral part of my life.
I had to
work that night, and mom was at work while the planning was going on.
AH was going to drive, and she needed to pick the girls up from
school after work. I had to be at work in the afternoon so I had to
drop N off at a place where she could get him, but I couldn't get
ahold of her. I spoke with their father, AG, and he said I should
just bring N to his office in the big city and he could wait until
his daughter showed up.
Now this
would have been all fine and dandy if not for the fact that he didn't
seem totally sure if his daughter was actually going to come to his
office. The problem I faced was that if I dropped N off at his office
and the girls didn't show up, he was sort of stranded there. AG
assured me that it would all work out (he knows how neurotic I am),
but just in case, I told N that mom could come get him if need be. In
reality, AG lives right down the street from us, and AH was going to
pick the girls up at some point, so N was basically all set.
So, I
dropped him off, the girls picked him up, and they had a blast at the
fair. It happened to be middle and high school night, so he saw a
bunch of his buddies. They stayed until pretty late, and even I got
home well before he did, not that it mattered because we figured when
you're out on the town with a bunch of cute girls, you just can't
rush the situation.
Until
the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Jacob Haller for the pic.
