Absent-minded Will

Today, I had to go get Will from school. He gets bad headaches and then gets upset and starts having difficulty breathing because of his asthma.

I also had to run to town early in the afternoon, so Will had to go with me.

On the way back home, we notice it's almost 2 o'clock.

Me: Will? Do you want to run by the house and get the laptop, then go wait in the car line for Bud (Will's nickname for his brother) or let Miss Jennie get him?
Will: Umm...let's get the computer and go wait.

When we get home, Will says he'll run in a get it. I give him the keys and in he goes.

About 2 minutes later, he comes out with the laptop in hand.

Me: Will? Did you lock the door?
Will: Yep.
Me: Where are my keys?
Will: Umm...uh oh. It's not my fault! It's not my fault!

So, we're locked out of the house, and can't go get a spare because my truck keys are on there too.

I had Will check the back door, but it was locked.

I call Glenda at work. She says she had Christopher's window open the other day, and it was still unlocked.

So, I go to check and sure enough...it's unlocked!

I call Will around, open the window and help him through. Now, this window isn't low and Will isn't a typical 9 year old. He's "husky".

With much effort, we get him in. I walk back around to the truck and wait on him to come back out.

After about a minute, he comes out.

Me: Will, do you have the keys??

Will shakes the keys at me and climbs in the truck.

Will: You know, we didn't have to do all that just now.
Me: Why?
Will: I forgot to lock the door! Haha!!!
