Today was Bring Your Mochi to Work Day! 

Okay, not officially, but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. 

See, the morning started off like normal, I got everyone dressed and snacked and headed out to Aunty’s house.  Joe’s mom was out there dropping off Joe - or so I thought.  She said to me, “Oh, it looks like you did what we did!  Aunty’s vacation starts TODAY and not Monday.”   NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! 

G couldn’t get off work early and even though I could clear a few things off my desk with help from my trusty pals at work, I needed to get a couple of things done myself, so I set up a conference room in a pretty secluded corner, packed up lots of snacks and crayons and decided to go in late in the afternoon after the mochi’s naps – WITH THEM IN TOW.  Fortunately, lots of trainings were going on and big bosses were traveling so it was pretty deserted. 

How could I make this mistake?  Well, we had this discussion at home and I had G ask Aunty if their vacation did, indeed, start on Friday or Monday.  So how does he ask?  On Thursday afternoon as he picks up the mochis, he says, “See you tomorrow!” and since no one corrected him, he figured all was normal.
