A friend of mine was a Podiatrist in Reno, NV. I worked for him on a part time basis for awhile. One day when I got to work he asked me to go down to pay a bill for him before I started cleaning instruments and making surgical packs. I took the envelope with the check in it and went out and got in my van. It was a big conversion van with lots of doors. As I sat down in my seat and little voice said “Lock your doors” and being the obedient person I was learning to be I said “Yes Sir” and when I was done locking all of those doors I started the van and was on my way.
As I pulled into a parking spot in front of my destination I saw a blonde man walking to the right of the van and then I didn’t see him again so I just sat there and waited to see if I could see where he had gone. In just a bit he popped up at my window and said “Open your door” and as I looked at him I could see a very child like look in his eyes. He grabbed the door and tried to get it open. Now because I was a full time mom with 7 kids and I also did day care for many more I was used to working with little children so I said “No I am not going to open the door and you need to go away right now, you are being very naughty.” And I pointed to the sidewalk. In a bit he turned around and walked down the street and turned the corner.
Whew!!!!
My legs were like noodles but I hopped out of the van, locked the door, and as fast as I could I ran into the office, paid the bill, called the police and told them about my experience and asked them to look for that young man. You see this office was right across the street from the mental hospital and I think they might have had an escape artist on the loose.
Whew!!!

Whoa. Scary! I'm glad you listened.
Don't be afraid of telling funny stories, especially when sad events are going on in the world. It helps us to remember that there is still good all around us and to cling to those and be thankful. I love you so much. Thank you for being the best mom. I had so much fun with you yesterday and am grateful to have you as my buddy :)
Way to listen and obey! Thanks for the little reminder to do the same. That's a frightening experience.
Thank you for the comments girls. And I hope this little story will help my readers listen a little better also:).
Love,
Grammy T.
