This morning I'm in the shower and this is how our conversation goes:
T: Where is Ella?
C: In bed.
T: No she isn't.
C: Yes she is.
T: No, the light is on and she is not there.
C: Did she go up stairs?
T: No. ELLA??? ELLLA??? Where are you?
I jump out dripping grab a towel and drip water all over the house as we search for Ella.
T: Ella????
C: ELLA, THIS IS NOT FUNNY! WHERE ARE YOU!! meanwhile looking in the hiding spots of hide & go seek.
C: SERIOUSLY ELLA!!! COME OUT NOW!!!
Nothing. So at this point you wonder?? But the alarm is set and she can't open a door.
C: ELLA NOW!!!
E: I'm here.
C: Where?
E: Under the bed.
She is hiding behind toys so we could not see her at first glance.
C: Why are you under the bed?
E: Because I'm not ready wake up yet.
Kids. This provided the worst feeling ever, yet I knew in my head that there was no way that she was really gone.
