An Entirely Other Day

The Fifteen Second Game

The boys and I have a game we play, every single morning.

I say, “Put your shoes on” and they say, “OK.” I then come back five minutes later and say, “Why aren’t your shoes on?” and they say, “I couldn’t find them.” I then say, “You didn’t even look, did you?” and they say, “Yes, I did! I looked everywhere!”

I then say, “I’m now going to spend fifteen seconds looking for your shoes,” and I do, and I find them, very often in the same room that we’re standing in.

It’s not a very fun game.
