Trust Me.

Normally we would take our nieces and nephews birthday presents to Williams dad's for them to collect when we are all out but our nephews birthday present didn't arrive until the day after we all went to his dads so on his birthday we decided to deliver it ourselves. William says 'phone them make sure they are home' 'no point' i say 'its a school night, they'll be home' so we didn't phone and we drove to glasgow. we arrived and it looked as though nobody was home but there was a light on so we piled out of the car and rang the bell. nope, nobody home. I tried phoning his mothers mobile to see where they were, straight to voicemail. I phoned my niece to get his sisters mobile number. we drove to a nearby burger king, got Teo some juice as he had alot of chocolate on the drive up and I thought he might be thirsty, I had an icecream and they were all happy playing in the play area. I tried the number my niece gave me, straight to voicemail again. William phoned his sister to ask for the dad's mobile number. It rang, which was progress but no answer. we sat at burger king trying to plan our next move and the phone rang, I hoped it would be them returning our call but it was williams sister, she said her son mentioned they might be taking him to the cinema as it's his birthday. we decided to drive over to the cinema, not exactly sure what we would do when we got there but on the way I tried the house phone again. 'hello?'
'hey! are you home? oh, stupid question, of course you're home Its your house phone! how long have you been home?'
'5 minutes'
'we've brought the weans present up, we'll be there shortly'
5 minutes later we arrived, and we managed to give him his present. we stayed for a cup of tea and the kids were all very hyper. It was very late by the time we got home that night.
the moral of the story is:

Don't trust Aileen. 'no point' she says. 'they'll be home' she says. 'it's a school night' she says
