Life with Boys: Geniuses

This is Molly.



Molly is a princess.

Every morning on my way to work I drop Molly off at my parents’ house and the boys pick her up on their way home from school. It’s a long story. Let’s just say it’s a win-win situation. My parents reap all the benefits of having a pet in their lives and Molly gets to spend the days with people she loves.

The other morning our routine was on schedule. As I packed up my bag, I asked G-Man to put Molly in the car. Out the door they went. I walked out the door to see Mr. A get in his car, start the engine and back out the driveway. I waved good-bye to my boys and I got in my car. I buckled my seat belt and turned the key.

I paused and thought, That’s strange, no one’s sniffing my ear. I turned and looked in the backseat. No Molly. Was she still in the house? I picked up my cell and called G-Man.

Me: Where’s Molly?

G-Man: Uh, she’s in the car with us.

Mr. A: (in the background) Oh no.

G-Man: We’re turning around.

I met the kids halfway and we transferred Molly from their car to mine. We all got a huge laugh out of it. Mr. A thought it would have been really funny when they got to school and realized there was a Great Dane in the backseat. What makes this story even funnier is that not only did G-Man put Molly in the wrong car, Mr. A tossed his gym bag in the back and even said “hi” to her.

Yep, geniuses my foot.

Love it! Sounds like a morning in our house. Every so often Zoey (black lab) get to go to the office with me. Other mornings are filled with chaos.

The truly great thing is you wouldn't trade any member of the afore mentioned trio for the world. Gotta live the kids ( fur kid included).

They say you start to look like your pets, but I can't imagine it could be that confusing!

Molly has it M-A-D-E. My dog would be insanely jealous if she knew. Of course, that would mean she could read, and that would be a whole other issue altogether...

Oh how tough to be so loved that everyone wants to spend the day with you. I'm sure Molly was more than a little confused about the whole process and laughing on the inside at her humans.
