Duck!

The other day, we were at the airport to pick up Husband. We were waiting by the baggage claim and I sent the boys to check his flight status on the monitors. As typically happens, they got distracted. Before I knew it, they were over by the kiosks for making hotel reservations. I was too far away to call out to them and I could not leave all of our coats etc. on the chairs and walk over them. You know...security level orange and all. I really did not want to pick everything up and go down to retrieve them. So, I did the next best thing I could think of…I started sending them telepathic messages. “Come back NOW!” “1-2-3!” “You are in SO much trouble!!” It did not work…I picked up the coats and went to get them.

I asked Son #2…”Why didn’t you come back? Why didn’t you listen to the mind messages I was sending you?” He responded, “It wasn’t that I did not listen…I saw them coming and I ducked.”
