Kids tell it all

It's never happened before, but I left the van lights on while I was at the library with the kids last week. So you can imagine what happened once I tried to start the van? Yup- battery dead. Luckily, I had my cell phone on (which I often forget to bring along) and it's a good thing John was at home - only 5 minutes away. I took the kids out of their car seats and went back into the library to wait for John to come and jump start the van. As soon as we stepped back into the library, Sydney started proclaiming to everyone telling them about our van situation. Even Caleb joined in and found it funny. His words are not as proficient as Sydney's but nevertheless, I saw him walk up to someone and say "Uhh.. we stuck"...and proceeded to chuckle. Great! An embarassing situation for Mommy to be in and if it was just me, I would have quietly waited in the library and no one would have ever had to know. But nooooo..... instead, I was showed quite a bit of sympathy and had to tell each person who offered help that I was waiting for my prince to come rescue us all. Kids tell it all - no secrets hidden.
