Reluctantly I agreed that I would pick up my high school daughter from a picnic at 9'ish pm tonight. I work about 45 minutes from home and have early meetings tomorrow, so I was a bit crabby about it.
Anyway, at about 8:30 my son and I were feeling kinda bored so we decided on DQ. From there, we drove to the park DD was at, parked in a place with full view of her and her friends. We sat in the car enjoying our DQ until 9pm at which time we started texting her.
Needless to say we were feeling goofy, silly, etc. So from her perspective, I think we annoyed her. It only took her 15minutes, including a countdown and a threat to pull right up to the group with her brother hanging out the sunroof hollering her name. She decided it would be less embarrassing to come to the car.
My goal accomplished - home before 9:30 and lots of giggles with son. Maybe I won't always be asked for the late shift of carpooling next time? Nah.
