Missing Children

On Monday we had a hectic morning, and I had to be gone from about 10:00 to 1:00.  I asked Cannon to take Annie to lunch, and since they pretty much do that every day, I didn't worry about it.  When I got home at 1:00, there was no sign of Cannon and Annie.  The only thing Robyn could tell me was that they had left for lunch at about 11:15.  I walked over to Ashman to look for them on the playground, but they weren't there.  I checked at Whitmore's, and even Anna Snedeger's house, but they weren't around.  I called Jef to see if he knew where they were, and my next call would have been to the police, but Jennie and Lydia suggested I check the the library.  Sure enough, my missing children had been hanging out at the library while I searched the town for them.

My children often come and hang out at the library while I'm working there.  I always thought that it was because that's where I was and they like to hang out with me.  But I guess that I'm not the main attraction at the library, after all, since Cannon and Annie had no problem with spending a couple hours there without me.  I guess it's a good thing that I've given them a love for the library, I just wish they would tell me when they were going.  Maybe I would've wanted to come, too!
