Sliding Doors

Caleb has a quirk. He leaves doors open wherever he goes. If anyone in the family wants to know who left the door open, we just have to look at Caleb. There were mornings when we would troop into the garage to get into the van and the sliding door would be standing open. Whenever Caleb is the last one out the door, he leaves the door standing wide open behind him. I always have to remind him to shut doors wherever we go. A couple weeks ago, I went to my 12-week visit with the midwife. I ended up taking all three boys with me and you would have thought I was bringing my dogs into the waiting room. It got decidedly cold in there and none too friendly. I mentally flipped off the secretaries and they got me in and out of there as fast as they could. Fine by me, but I was ordered to go over and get my blood drawn at LabCorp. So, we went over and parked. Feeling harassed about the whole thing, I didn't have my usual attention focused on my children. Again, we got in and out as fast as they could kick us out and when we went back to the van......the sliding door was standing wide open. "Caleb!!" I then went into my speech mode and told him about thieves, locks, etc., etc. Our next van is going to have the automatic sliding doors that shut by the flick of a button. Aaaaah, luxury.
