Dear elementary school staff,
Please excuse Tyler for his tardiness. We were running ten minutes ahead of schedule this morning until I couldn't find my keys. After rummaging around in the house for a few minutes, I went out to the van, where four children were getting into their seats. That's when I realized that my keys were in the ignition, Jon Schmidt music was blasting ("Dumb Song" was appropriate for the moment), and the air conditioning was running. Thanks to Gavin's little stunt, the van's battery was dead. My knight in dirty old car came to the rescue.
Is this a good enough dog-ate-my-homework story? Because it's true.
And sorry that this note is written in orange crayon.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bartle

Gavin strikes again! It's funny...after the fact. :)
A friend of mine with a firecracker of a daughter...who would be a fantastic match for Gavin....was once in search of her keys. She looked high and low and when her keys were finally located she went out to the garage, got all of the kids in their carseats and buckled to leave only to find that her 4 year old had attempted to start the car herself to help mom out - by using a pencil. The pencil lead was then shoved even FURTHER in to the ignition when she went to put the key in. She then had to find an alternative way to get the kids to school, without the pencil to even write the note.
your ac works when just the battery is running?! lucky!
