There's a Cake in Your Car

Some of our friends moved on to our street. Their house is still being remodeled even though it was supposed to be finished months ago. But, that's okay. Who doesn't like to look at a porta-potty on their driveway every day?

So, I thought they could use a "Welcome to the Neighborhood/Try Not to Lose Your Minds" cake. And, I a) must really like these people and/or b) must really feel sorry for these people because I decided to share "the" banana cake with them.
Licking the Bowl
I told y'all it was good.

The kids grabbed their scooters, Shawn grabbed the cake and we headed down the street. We got there just in time to discover... they weren't home. *cue sad clown music*

Elizabeth pressed her face to their door and tried to will them to be home. Spencer took the opportunity to practice scooter daredevil tricks on their driveway. And, Shawn and I stood there looking at each other.

Finally, Shawn walked over to their car parked in the drive.

I said, "What are you doing?"

"Seeing if their car's unlocked."

It was.

"What are you going to do?! Call them and say, 'There's a cake in your car'?!"

"That's exactly what I'm going to do."

And, that's exactly what he did.

I saw the dad at school drop-off this morning. He said he was going to keep leaving the car unlocked  just so he could see what else showed up in his backseat.

So, there you have it. That's how the Johnsons roll. Welcome to the neighborhood! There's a cake in your car.

Love this. Please come leave something in my car- all that's in it right now is an old rug I'm too lazy to lug out of the backseat...classy.

the only thing better than an old rug in your backseat? an old rug in your backseat with cake on it. ;)

I wish I lived on your block. Both because you're one of the funniest people I know and also because you put cake in people's cars. That is so many levels of awesome.

that's awesome! i'm glad you live in a place where people can leave their cars unlocked. i leave mine unlocked but people think i'm crazy. it's supposed to be quaint where i live. no one leaves me cake though. but the mailman used to leave packages for us in my dad's trucks and write notes on the envelopes saying where the packages were. i always worried there would be a guest in the yard and he'd get out package in his truck and we'd never get it!

you may not get cake in your car, sparkling, but i've never had a super cool postman like you did. i love that he left you notes on the other envelopes!

Well, that's the first time I've ever heard of finding something GOOD in your car if you leave it unlocked. Can you move into my neighborhood?
