A HOLE?

What does a hole mean?
An embarassing moment.
A new pair of pants.
A new pair of shoes or a shirt.
Too much bleach in the towel laundry load.
A flat tire.
A leaking something at the bottom of your car.
A huge mess if it is a milk jug.
An empty pocket.
A long song if you are 'Liza and Willey.

OR


A long night with no result....

Sunday night Baylen went to go to bed and as he gathered his work stuff together for the morning. He asked if I had moved his van keys?
Tylen usually plays with them a little then sets them back on the bookshelf where Bay always puts his keys. But I didn't see Ty playing with them at all. We searched and searched they weren't in our room around the bookcase. I started to worry because Bays office is in Carbondale and we weren't really sure they had extra keys there. Brin had just gone to bed so I asked her if she had spotted him playing with them at all. She said YES in your room and by the closet in the living room. So we began the real search we looked and looked and looked and looked and looked and looked. We turned the house upside down. We prayed and looked and looked and looked and looked some more. Brin went to bed about an hour later, Baylen and I kept looking until about 11:00 when, I saw this hole in the wall that the front door made by being slammed into it. I suggest that we should look in it. Baylen said that was the last resort because we would need to cut a hole in the wall.

We ended up going to bed at midnight and planned to ask Ty and anyone else if they had an idea where the keys might be. I was awakened by the sound of his cell ringing and him telling Jeff he couldn't drive to work today because he couldn't find the keys. I jumped out of bed and woke up Ty. I asked him if he had played with Daddy's keys. He said "yes". I asked if he knew where they were. He said "Closet". I was getting excited but I had empited the closet so I asked if they were in the closet. "No", he said "Show me". He grabbed my hand and off we went, right to the hole in the wall. Well sure enough he said they were in there. I told Bay, he cut a hole in the wall and......

There were the Keys!!!

So what does a hole mean?
A way to work.
A lesson to have extra keys around
and most of all
A very curious mysterious thing for a two year old.
