Making Yourself At Home

            My husband bowls in a league and very occasionally we will drop in and say hi to him. We had been bowling as a family earlier that week and had sat at one of the tables for some snacks afterward. As I’m standing talking to my husband Drew takes off through the crowd. Naturally we give chase and we find him. He had taken a seat at the same table we had sat at a few days before. He was happy as could be and the group of men he joined were very kind to him, not to mention a little perplexed at the new addition. Drew has done this before. We had gone to dinner once with my parents to a new Mexican restaurant and when we returned to it a few weeks later, Drew vanished into the crowd. I was in a total panic and guarded the front door while my family scoured the restaurant for my child. When I saw my mom waving to me through the window, and laughing, I was relieved and more than a little curious. My little boy had gone back to the same table we had originally sat at and made himself comfortable. Thankfully there were no other people sitting in the booth, I really have no idea what he would’ve done. Joined them? Been confused about the people sitting at his table? I’ll never know but I do know he has a great memory and excellent sense of direction.
