He came late and the person was already here. I thought he might be trying to pull something but he came dressed in shorts so I asked about work and he said he was not working that day, was working Saturday instead. I usually wouldn't have gotten the explanation. So I was curious what he did that day. Hopefully not more D paperwork! Anyway, when he came in the guest jumped up and put her hand out and introduced herself, said she was a retired teacher with FBI clearance, would take good care of the kids and was a friend of mine. He kinda laughed and shook her hand. Then he confirmed a few things about the babysitter and money, and said goodbye. I didn't even say it back I don't think. Usually he barely forces it out, this time it was like he wanted a goodbye. In a way it is almost like roles reversed a little bit.
