I'm about to take my kids back to the days of "don't call me at work unless it's an emergency"! I just had this conversation:

Me: Hey, what's up?

kiddo: I can't find the remote.

Me: ...Did you look for it?

kiddo: Yeah, I looked for it!

Me: Where?

kiddo: Well, it's not on the table!

Me: ...

Me: Go look for the remote.

That would have caught me an ass whooping when I was his age 🤣

I’m gonna imagine this took place at a conference and everyone paused for you to answer the call.

No, it's really that anti-climactic. That scenario is exactly what I'm afraid of happening in the future though!

Don’t be afraid. That’s life. Take a deep breath and take it all in, savor it and laugh it off.
