The Set-up
Difficult Work Week for the Mommy.
Today is Wednesday eve - the end of mid week - thank goodness.
All seems quiet.
Mommy picks us up from daycare.
At home - we stretch out for a bit
Have dinner
A little more rest - out for a quick business trip
Everyone's tired - we all get comfy on the Big Bed.
We all fall asleep....8:30 ish
11:53 p.m.
Lia: wakeup wakeup hurry...there's people on our property and the sun is flashing! woof woof woof!! hurry - it's an emergency!
Zoe: woof woof ok if you say so; man I was sleeping good, woof woof also
The Mommy: Lia, hold the phone! It looks like a city truck out front and whoa! there's a lake in the street. Let me pee and I'll investigate for ya.
(note to human: if the flush goes well but the tank doesn't refill, there's probably a water main break).
Lia: WOOF...WOOF...AREN'T YOU GOING TO LET ME OUT??? THERE'S TRESPASSERS ON OUR YARD!
The Mommy: I'll go out and talk to the guys, Lia - you stay here and guard the fort.
Lia: I'M ON IT: WOOF WOOF WOOF
(after human conversation with city workers, yes indeedie, we have a water main break and they need to go poking at manholes and water lines all down the block, starting in front of our house. I told them if they needed to use the facilities, they were welcome to do so. They reminded me the "facilities" won't work without water and that they would be ok as they were men. humph.)
Lia: SO...WHAT'D THEY SAY? WOOF WOOF?????????
The Mommy: They said the Sun was going to flash for a while longer and that you should go to bed.
