The new joke of the week
Being ADHD has it’s up sides and it’s down sides hee hee
This week I was
trying to get back up to speed after being away.
So I vacuumed one
afternoon while Mark was out. Nothing unusual there and as usual Jet (the robot
vacuum) ran out of juice and went back to recharge before continuing.
Later that evening we
decided we needed a few staples like ice cream and went off shopping. Marks
phone rang on the way down there and when we arrived he checked and it was a
junk call trying to sell us something. So we shopped happily and as we were
checking out he again got an 800 number and said boy they are persistent
tonight I don’t need to talk to them twice. Right after that I got one from the
same number. It often happens that way so I too chose to ignore it.
We came on home and
came inside and Mark is trying to turn off the alarm and says “hey this thing
is acting funny” I reply “just hit it again” Which he does and it stops. Right
then my phone rings and it is Barb saying, um there is a problem with your
alarm and John is on his way over as the alarm company couldn’t get you. How
weird right? Oops then we check and no those 800 numbers were the alarm
company. SO Mark is on the phone and I say oops well we are here can you stop
John. She checks and he is on his way. No he doesn’t have the cell phone with
him as she has a doctors appointment and needs it for tomorrow early. SO I am
at the window watching for John and to arrive and Mark is on the phone trying
to talk to the alarm company and please explain and figure out why it went off
in the first place. I have gone all around the house and put on lights outside
and checked through the windows for anything. I come back and hear a strange
beeping. Oops I suddenly realize it is Jet he has decided he has enough juice
to go and try again and is now stuck on the table leg where he has gotten
himself balanced. I realize he is the culprit of the alarm and house him again,
while telling Mark.
Then I go back to the
window to watch for John. I look up and down the street and the cops have a car
outside the neighbors hmm. Wonder why they didn’t come to the door. SO out we
go to find them. They come around the house and I brightly say, Hi so so sorry about this and
get a stony look. Are you the key holder asks the lady. Um yes we are, our
names are and we tell her. Do you have ID? Um yes, would you like to come
inside while I get it out my purse? SO the very nice ladies come in and check
then explain that they saw people walking around so were being cautious.
Lightbolt moment They thought I was the lookout for the thieves oops. They did
not laugh at us for ignoring the calls, they did not lecture us, They were in
fact very professional and very kind. Thank you to them.
Well all ends well
and John arrived and got hugged and off he went again.
Moral of
the story make sure your toys are put away properly before going out and about
