#2640 that part could have been better

I was thinking about when I got to Lizzie and Mom’s house on Friday night. My surprise entry didn’t go very smoothly, but it was kind of funny from where I was standing.

Mom and I had been texting a little, so she knew when I got there. I knocked on the door, but they were in Lizzie’s room watching a movie. I rang the doorbell. The dog barked. I could hear the women come into the living room. I heard Mom tell Lizzie to answer the door. Lizzie said something like, “No! I’m not going to open the door! It’s 10:30 and I’m in my jammies and I’m not expecting anyone and I’m not going to open the door.” Maybe she didn’t say all that, but it is what I would have said! 

Of course, the door was opened, I think by Lizzie, and everything was fine after that.

I could have done a much better job planning that whole thing with Mom. Maybe we could have arranged for the door to be unlocked when I arrived, or for Mom to quietly let me in. Maybe I could have called Lizzie and asked her if the package had arrived and told her to go check because I’d gotten notification that it was on the door step. 

Honestly, I was just so excited to be there that a key detail like getting into the house in a fun way didn’t even occur to me!

Oh well…maybe next time :)
