OT: Never underestimate a 2yr Old
So DB works for a company where he has a van that he brings home every night. Tonight he lost the key to the van and could not find it anywhere, we looked in every nook and cranny you can think of, we lifted couches, tore apart beds everything! About three hours later DB is panicking because he has to work tomorrow and he didnt know how he was going go get to work with no van key. He was just about to dump out the trash when I turn to our two-year old son and say "Owen, do you know where daddy's key is?" Owen then runs to the love seat, the one that we turned over twice mind you points the right side and goes, "Douch Douch, key Key and vigorously starts nodding his head up and down. DB decides to pick the couch up from the side and we look, no key we even look through all the metal no key. DB then gives couch a little shake and low and behold out falls the van key. I couldn't believe it. I still have no idea how my 2-year old saw this very well hidden key, knew excatly which one we were looking for, and we didn't. Even after sighs of relief, enormous praise and numerous high-fives, I still don't think Owen realizes to the exact extent on how h saved the day. I think small very young children are often underestimated, so next time your little guy or girl is trying to tell you something, take the time to really listen, it could be very important!!
