Anime Club

Little Kat is part of anime club at his high school. He seems to like it a lot. This week was his holiday party at anime club. But there was just one problem. How was Little Kat going to come home from anime club? Kit Kat is out of town. Momoko was busy with her own holiday party. That left just me.

The problem is that Little Kat gets out of anime club during my work hours. I already had to spend a few work hours this week taking Kit Kat to the airport since nobody else could. Everyone wanted to go to their holiday parties. I really could not help out. But it was just a quick 15 minute drive to the school to pick up Little Kat, right?

So I finish up a meeting at work. Then I rush over to Little Kat's school. He calls me on my cell phone as soon as I get there. I tell him I am at his school. Little Kat has bad news for me. His school just went into lock down. Nobody leaves his classroom or school. Why me?

Of course Murphy's Law kicks in, and they hold an impromptu meeting at work where I am the key guy. There is nothing I can do. I tell the security lady that I am there to pick up Little Kat. She has them page Little Kat a couple times. But his teacher needs to arrange an escort for Little Kat.

I end up waiting around 45 minutes until somebody can bring Little Kat out to me car. I punch it home. Then I run to my meeting. I join the meeting late and take charge. Luckily we were working with some code that I programmed. After working out a few kinks, the program runs super fast and everyone is giving each other high fives. I still need to stay late at work to wrap everything up.

What is the moral of this story? I can no longer transport Little Kat from anime club. No exceptions.
