Last morning was hilarious. We got back from Hyderabad, and I wanted to rush the kids to school. After getting them ready, Gurdev left to drop them to school. I was busy around the house when I noticed that Gautam’s schoolbag was left behind. I also saw that Gurdev, my husband, left his cellphone behind. So, I thought that I would quickly drop Gautam’s schoolbag and save Gurdev time from making an additional trip. I took the car and went to the school and dropped off Gautam’s schoolbag there. When I came back, I saw Gurdev standing outside the house with Gautam !!
He had thought that he would save a trip and decided not to send Gautam to school. Oh, and I left his schoolbag in school. After sometime, we got a call from school saying that the schoolbag had arrived, but the child was missing :).
Gurdev sheepishly explained that it was miscommunication between him and me that had caused all the confusion. The only saving grace — the school is only a distance of 1.5 km from home. I ended up making two additional futile trips to school.
Moral of the story — Don’t take decisions without discussion.
Another Possible Moral: Before leaving the house…make sure nobody is home. 🙂
Another one–one hell of a caring family
but how can you have a discussion when the cellphone has been left behind
Hillarious 🙂
@Gayatri That’s not always possible :).
@BKChowla Nice way of looking at the faux pas.
@wisedonkey Yep, you are right. But maybe, I should have waited 10 minutes for him to get back.
@Manika 🙂
These kind of things happened when I was studying in school..!
I know more than 25 friends who had a similar experience!!
Mobiles were not as accessible back then, they were just getting popular (I’m 21, don’t think it was too long back :D)
Funny post & relatable..:)
These kind of errors are common in such mushy errands:)
