Ring....

Derek:  Hello.
Bob:  Is this Derek?  This is Principal Bob from the Elementary School located just around the corner from your house.
Derek:  (noticeably more polite) Yes, sir.  This is Derek.
Principal Bob:  I'm calling to tell you that your dog is here at the principal's office.
Derek:  We'll be right there to pick him up.

I'm sorry?  How exactly does a dog end up at the principal's office?  And how many admin offices are there at the elementary school that the dog ended up with THE PRINCIPAL???  And why did it sound like my husband was back in the 5th grade and that he sounded very familiar with that "yes, sir?"

Based on the michevious child that we have, I knew that we would eventually become regulars inside the hallowed walls of the principal's office.  I just didn't realize that Zinni was going to warm us up for it.
