Should I be offended?

Should I be offended that my husband refused to let me leave for the airport this morning without this note in Charlotte's pocket? [Yes, I smeared out our phone numbers. Click on the image to make it bigger.]



Did he think I wouldn't notice if Charlie Jo ran off while we waited for our flight? Did he think I would be so enthralled with little keychains in the shape of guitars and shirts that say "Viva Nashvegas!" in the gift shop that I might forget to keep an eye on our newly-mobile daughter? Most importantly, did he really think anyone could read his handwriting in the unlikely event they found CJ wandering alone AND thought to themselves "I think I'll check in this ridiculously tiny pocket on the screaming baby's capri jeans to see if there is a note that includes contact information for not one, but both parents"?!?!?

In Corey's defense, CJ is becoming a little speed demon if given a wide open space and sufficient motivation. Yes, a breath of air can knock her over and into fits of consternation, but she is pretty little and easily lost behind things like acorns and gumdrops. I suppose I shouldn't be too offended, but I reserve the right to make fun of him.

P.S. I love that he (1) used my real name instead of my nickname -- why???, and (2) dated the memo because he such a lawyer.

When he told us about this at dinner last night, I wasn't sure if he was kidding or serious. Wow, Corey. Weren't you concerned she'd eat/shred the note before it was found? :)

You should have smeared out your number but kept Corey's on there and then made a break for the nearest spa . . .

I think that note belongs in Charbaby's baby book! That is the most hilarious thing I've ever seen.... Corey, you are such a crackup. I love it!

Too funny!

I find it hysterical and amazing ingenious all at the same time:-)

Hey, now!

Our luggage has tags with our address and information, and, quite frankly, I didn't really care if our luggage got lost.

It seemed to me that if I was labeling my luggage, then I ought to label our baby, as well.
