I used to drive the school bus

and if there was a question

as to where the kindergarteners lived,

I hoped they knew their phone numbers.

They

never

did.

.

.

I was surprised to find that my 4 yr-old

had kept calling her dad on his cell phone 12 times a day.

She had memorized it.

Cool.

.

.

Better than cool when you hear her story that happened today.

.

.

.

Hubby had taken one of our kids to his school for a football game.

I was sitting at an SEP

for one of our elementary kids.

.

Hubby is 7 miles away from our house when he got

a phone call from a stranger (woman) telling

him that she had just found our daughter

riding her bike

in the middle of ______street.

Which happens to be the 35 mph windy road

with blind spots near our house.

.

.

.

.

She was trying to follow me to the elementary.

She told Koby that she was coming with me,

and he was in the bathroom when she left on her bike.

.

.

Hubby told her that our son would be right there to get her.

He phoned home and

Koby was out the door to go get her

before he could finish the story.

.

.

No one in that neighborhood 2.5 blocks away knows Kauri.

.

.

.

The ONLY way

the woman found us

was because Kauri

knew

his

phone number.

.

.

Kauri wasn't scared, but of course,

I freaked out when I found out.

I just barely

started letting Kash cross that street.

Not to mention,

Jaycee Dugaard.
