8:42 AM-Tate is happily playing in his bedroom and singing very loudly "Tell Me the Stories of Jesus."
8:43 AM-The singing stops
8:44 AM-Tate is gone and is no where to be found.
8:45 AM-Maria is calling for Tate and looking in every room only to find that the back door and garage door are unlocked.
8:49 AM-Still no sign of Tate! Maria is frantic! She is screaming his name, running from the house/backyard/garage.
8:50 AM-Maria calls 911. The dispatcher thinks she is insane as all she can do is scream, "HE'S GONE!!!
8:52 AM-Maria has completely lost it. She is still running through the house panicking. She is starting to wonder if Tate is gone for good.
8:53 AM-Maria decides to check the garage once more, screaming for Tate all the while. The garage light is off, the car light is off, the car doors are locked, and wait... who is that curled up in a ball on the floor with a great big grin on his face?
8:54 AM-Maria is bauling uncontrollably not knowing whether she should beat him or love him! She tells the dispatcher that Tate has been found.
8:55 AM-Tate has a GREAT BIG talk and is given a consequence of wearing a leash so that he will learn to stick to his mama!
THE END.
How scary... Good way to teach him! I would do the same thing!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I feel for you! My little Thomas did that to me except he ended up at the school down the street. He said he just wanted to play, yikes!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Maria, That reminds me of my little brother when we has three - similar situation - had the whole neighborhood looking for him for over an hour - found him asleep in my mom's canned food cupboard - he liked to play there.
ReplyDeleteSo scary. Glad you found him safe and sound.
Oh my Scary! It is an awful AWFUL feeling when you can't find your baby. I'm so happy it turned out good for you - I bet those were the a very horrifying 9 minutes.
ReplyDeleteOh my! You are not crazy! I would have done the same thing. It drives me CRAZY when I am calling for Hallie and she does not answer. I'm glad you found him!!!
