Half a taco...

I am praying for the safe return of Madeleine McCann.  I also cant help but have these feelings. Maddie is one of three kids born with the help of IVF.  Her parents are lovely, albeit, naïve people who apparently, did not get the following memo:  "You are parents, your life is over"  I thought of this the other night.  My meme asked her daughter for a taco. You know those lil ones, w/ steak?  Two bites, maybe three.  Anyways she handed her #mom half a taco. That's it! We laughed.  Maddie's  folks went out to dinner, as you know, and someone took their kid. Someone said lets leave the kids alone, and no one said ...wait, that's not a good idea.  I don't want to make them feel bad, im sure they have REplayed it over n over in their minds.  Apparently, they didn't trust a baby sitter, and checked on the kids every 30 minutes.  I cannot fathom them leaving the door unlocked. When I heard that, I screamed at the tv...were you trying to lose them???   Thirty minutes is a long time for three toddlers.  I don't know if the room was child proofed ...is that a word?  Good lord there are plugs and knives and hot water....the mind wanders off to a not so pretty trail. Going to two restaurants, alone, in peace, is not an option, you have right now. You could have hired a sitter and brought them all to dinner.  Anyways, hindsight is 20/20....xx #love #book
