Obligatory "this was actually yesterday" but you get the idea.
So, I have a 16yo dog, 10yo daughter, 6yo son and 4yo son.
My task list for the morning is:
- Drop off youngest at daycare
- Drop off middle child at elementary school
- Drop off oldest at middle school
- Drop off dog at senior doggy daycare
- Pick up coffee for myself and wife
- Return home with coffee
I did:
- Drop off youngest at daycare
- Drop off middle child at elementary school
- Drop off oldest at middle school
- Pick up coffee for myself and wife
- Return home with coffee
Now the discerning reader will note that my task list has 6 items but my executed task list has 5 items. However, the engineer in me would say that I successfully completed the story since the definition of done was "return home with empty car and two coffees". My wife is a product manager and tells me this is stupid but WTF do product managers know, right?
Anyway, turns out middle child took dog with him when he left car. I was talking with older daughter and didn't notice. Once I dropped her off the car was empty so I went to get coffee. Again, in my defense... ok, I have no defense. I totally spaced out and it's completely my fault hence I'm posting here on TIFU.
The worst part was showing up at Doggy daycare in the afternoon to pick up the dog and having them say "what dog? You didn't drop her off today". I nearly had an anxiety attack on the spot but that's also when I checked my voice mail so it worked out pretty quickly.
Anyway, the dog spent the day with my kid at his school. They did in fact try to call me once (maybe twice but according to the story I told my wife it was only once!) but I was on calls so I didn't notice. It's a small private school so things went ok and my kid's class was highly entertained. Dog loves kids and treats and got plenty of both so she was fine. In fact, they even send her home with a daily report card which I found entertaining. For the record, she did well in reading but not so well in math and does in fact play well with others.
TL;DR dropped dog off with kid at kid's school. All involved had fun.
