thoughts one has while retrieving their child in the middle of the night from a failed sleepover…

“Of course he has to be at the one friend’s house who lives 25 minutes away.”
“Too bad this wasn’t yesterday. I could have stopped at Old Navy for some shopping. Everyone needs a $5 fleece. At 3 AM.”
“I better not get in an accident. I’m not wearing a bra.”
“Actually, what the hell am I wearing? Good lord. I hope I don’t get stopped by the fashion police. I’m in massive violation. In fact, if I were walking down the street someone might give me $5 and point me in the direction of the nearest homeless shelter.”
“So this is what it feels like to be out past bar time.”
“Hey! Taco Bell really IS open late. I could so go for a Nacho Bell Grande. Slight detour perhaps?”
“Thank God Matt and I didn’t pick last night to find our true calling as Rock Stars and therefore have to pick the child up in a cab.”
“I haven’t seen another car in the longest time. This is so cool. I bet this is what it’s like on the Autobahn. Without any other cars and the fact that I’m only going 40 in a 55. Oops. At this rate I’ll get there by 4:30.”
“That was sweet of Matt to offer to come with me. I should have taken him up on it. I bet he would go to Taco Bell with me.”
“This kid better sleep until noon.”

Susan, I just felt bad for the other mom who had to be up at 3am because of my kid.
And Zeghsy, I’m totally calling you next time.

You are a good mom! Do you know that I’ve only eaten at Taco Bell once in my life.

Eating Taco Bell once is quite alright Kelcey… unless you live in Wisconsin and are drunk at 1am. Then it’s necessary!

Too funny! Loved the fashion police and no bra line. I can see myself thinking the same thing.
