“CHRISTINA! GRANT!”
“ALEX!”
“COURTNEY!”
Each child’s name was called followed by
each child running to the matching “next of kin.”
But instead of being in trouble, Mimi and Papa, Joe,
and Amy seemed tearfully thrilled to see them, and,
full of questions.
“What were you thinking?”
“Where have you been?”
“Why didn’t you call?”
The kids simultaneously tried to answer all
these questions and more all at once, when Harry
suddenly blew a loud whistle, startling kids and
adults alike into silence.
“Listen up!” he said. “It’s after midnight.
Maybe you guys should all go home now so I can
lock back up. We open again at 9:00 in the morning,
if you’re interested.”
The kids looked at Harry like he was crazy.
The adults agreed and grabbed “their” child or
children and hauled them out to Jeeps or cars. The
kids hardly had a chance to say, “Goodnight,” or
“See you tomorrow.”
