We went to church today just as we do every other Sunday. Peyton (my husband) had to drive separately because he had to go to work after sacrament was over. This happens often and not a big deal cause he has to make a living for our family and the requires working on Sunday sometimes. So I pull out of our apartment parking lot ahead of him. We like to go separate ways if we are leaving at the same time just to see which way is faster, and to race!!
I pull up into the church parking lot and his car is no where to be seen! HAHAHA!!! YEAH I BEAT HIM!! For the record I never beat him. He drives to fast, and I am in a van and he is in a V6 Nissan Altima. Anyway I always loose, except this time I won!! So the girls and I start piling out of the car with all my bags. We start walking up the sidewalk and he still hasn't pulled up. We get inside the church building and find a seat and sit down. After we sit down the girls go to the bathroom and come back. Now by this time Peyton should have arrived and he hadn't. So I, being a good and loving wife, become concerned for him. What if he was in an accident?
So I pull my cell phone out of my purse and quietly call him. He shortly answers.
I said, "where are you, why are you taking so long, are you ok?"
He responds, "I'm fine and I will be there in a minute."
So I say, "ok!" and hang up the phone
I told Madi, my 6 year old, what was going on and she replies, "I bet daddy turned around and went home to play video games."
I didn't think that this was a possibility so I just laughed.
Next thing I know here comes Peyton walking in all calm and cool. He sits down beside me and I stare at him. I gave him the "what in the flip where you doing look" He looked at me and said.......
"I was sitting in the parking lot reading Hunger Games"
HYSTERICAL.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I've never read The Hunger Games. I should. I guess I should also read Harry Potter. Adding them to the list.
Glad he was safe. :)
