Moving Like Pond Water

Two scenarios that will get parents (namely Sarah and myself) out of bed:
1. (Knock knock at the front door)
Ethan says in a sing song voice: "Hello, Who is it? Come in!"
door opens
Man at the door: "Hi, is your father home?"
BOING out of bed
2. Riles in a meek voice: " Mommy I need help"
Riles then makes a gurgle sound.
BOING out of bed
In both cases, Much like we were discussing before about being showered before the kids; one who is not prone to action first thing in the morning moved quite well. I never saw Cecil Turtle move so fast. What d'ya say Cec?
Scenario 1, was the USADA drug testing guy, come to verify that I am not on "the juice". He showed up to test if I have been taking illegal performance enhancing drugs -to the layman. Ethan opened the door for him, but then retreated to our bed, not saying a word. We were in the process of bumping into each other on our way to the door, but it still would have been nice to have a little heads up from Ethan.
Scenario 2, was Rileigh not doing well with something in her stomach. She was on her bunk bed, and I think had "painted herself into a corner" -as it were. Blocked her path down the ladder.
One of the better alarm clocks I have experienced since an OL-H instructor with a garbage can lid and a bull horn
