two cops came to my house today

Tim's dad, who is elderly, was trying to call and the phone kept ringing busy.

(We have dial-up and Tim was on the Internet for 2 hours. I know, I know. Quit laughing. We're saving money.)

Tim's dad freaked out and called the cops.

Two of them came to my house. They looked at me suspiciously. They wanted to see Tim, or they wouldn't go.

But Tim wouldn't come up (he didn't know why I was hollering at him). He also didn't answer. I swear these cops thought I killed him and chopped him up. Abbey said, "Mom! They have guns!"

Isn't this a great story?

Once Tim (FINALLY) came upstairs, they did leave. Not before laughing and telling Tim to call his dad. I hope none of my neighbors saw it. Or maybe they did. I suppose it would add to our mystique in the neighborhood.
