Ever Predictable Me!?

Well, in the landscaping industry, it is winter and therefore Mike's hours aren't as long as other seasons. (Only 10 hour days vs 14 hour days!) Mike is spending all his days at the office, as he recently was promoted to "The Boss" as my kids affectionately call it. Mike and a co-worker decided to begin to carpool to work. They meet at a designated parking lot and one leaves their car. I believe it saves them about $2 a day as they each drive very efficient cars. Mike loves it though because he can get phone calls made and work done.

Mike's car has one key with a remote. HE has lost the other one. My car has one key with the remote, HE has lost the other one. But I am smart and have a spare key hidden somewhere on my car. He is not smart and doesn't have a spare hidden somewhere on his car, or even own a spare anywhere at home. I tell him frequently he should get a spare key cut...

Which is probably why, this evening when he called me from the designated parking lot the first thing he said after

"Can you come pick me up?" was

"I don't need a lecture, I was just telling Bruce that I was going to get a lecture about a spare key."

So the question is? Did Mike get a lecture? YES he did. And for good measure he was also gently reminded to . . .

"Go and get a (insert Tiffany's favorite word) key cut this weekend!!"
