A Special Parcel

We picked the kids up from school 🏫 unexpectedly(for them). 

We drove towards Abbotsford, triggering questions we deflected. As we got closer to the airport, the questions became more urgent. We told them we were picking up a parcel. Luke thought that was weird as he couldn’t recall a parcel pickup desk. He searched all over the airport and concluded there was no such desk. He didn’t think parcels came through the baggage belt unless brought by a passenger, so he started guessing it was a someone, not a something. Deflection was getting difficult. We told him perhaps the stewardess would bring it, so he should watch the incoming people. 

Luke spotted the parcel. 

Luke told Elise to cover her eyes and wait for the surprise. So she did. She didn’t cheat either. When the parcel arrived, she didn’t even realize until I noticed- and told her to open her eyes. She flew into Stephanie’s arms then! Micah was busy hugging Luke. 

I don’t think we will be able to trick them again.
