Crime Solvers

So today we took C to the beach and kept him there for several hours. Again, he seemed to have fun, and was quite a novelty. He loves the sand, and comes home covered in it. So far he has gotten through the day without falling asleep. Hehe.

Anyway, on our way home from the beach, we passed an ambulance out on the main road. On the ground on the side of the road, some people had spread out a blanket, and there was a small girl sitting on it, and another standing nearby. There was an ambulance there, too, with its lights flashing and the back open. I wondered about it, and thought, well maybe she had a seizure or something and they brought her out and called 911? Still, it didn't make sense.

So we came home and started showering and getting ready. Kevin came home and my friend dropped off her son (who thankfully chatters enough to make up for C's selective muteness), and we headed out for dinner. As we were driving up the road, a Chinese woman flagged us down. She was carrying an infant and asked if we had seen two small blonde girls walking. She didn't make a lot of sense, but said she was living in her friend's house and they had gone looking for their mother. We said no, but went to drive around to look for them.

Suddenly I said, hey! Weren't those two little girls by the ambulance blonde? So we turned back and went to the Chinese woman. She had said they had left half an hour earlier, but we had seen them twice that long before. Kevin then called the police station with the woman outside the car, and sure enough, they had the girls. So we told the woman they would bring them to the house, and she told us she was the nanny. Then she asked us if she would get in trouble. :X (Ya think?) Anyway, it was bizarre. The police told her to go back to the house, and they would come.

In other news, so this was my second post of the day. I still hope C is having a nice time, although it is sometimes tough to tell. He was certainly worn out yesterday, but he slept till after 10 today, I think it was about 10:45 when he finally came downstairs. Brian is now all worked up because apparently C plays terribly violent games on his playstation at home, and I made Brian put the violent games away. I'm just a little disappointed that he is not giving anything back -- he smiles once in a while and is surely still polite, but he conserves his words to the point where he may be bordering on rude if he keeps it up. Hopefully he is just uncomfortable in a strange world; but I think I may know why his last years' family didn't sign back up ...
