We went to a fancy schmancy party on Saturday night.
I had to shave my legs, and everything.
The hosts were kind enough to get a babysitter, so, we took Busy D. with us, and, left the other two to fend for themselves, while hopefully, not killing each other in the process.
We dressed him up, too, and, arrived at the party to the strains of chamber music in the entry, and, tuxedo and evening gown clad party goers enjoying cocktails and conversation.
We settled him in with the other kids and the babysitter, and, we worked our way to the tent in the back yard for dining and dancing.
It was a lovely party, and, when it was over, we made our way back in, stopping along the way to talk to various people.
We encountered a few people who said, "Oh, I met your son."
I figured they were other parents with kids under the babysitter's care, so, I didn't think much of it, until the sister of the hostess, a middle aged lady whom we had not met until we were leaving the party, said, "Oh, I know you. I know Busy D., too. He's great."
Seems he had escaped the babysitter at some point, removed his shirt and shoes, and, attended the party inside the house while we were in the back.
In order to do this, he had to have climbed over the chamber musicians and, worked his way through the formally dressed crowd having cocktails at the bottom of the stairs.
I'm thinking fraternity president is in his future.

Oh no! He sure earned that "Busy" nickname at that party. Fraternity president-ha! Perhaps you should start working on his keg stand skills now :)
i hate to admit it, but it's always the youngest that are the party kids :) ...not that I'm speaking from experience or anything ;)
He certainly knows how to make an entrance!
I'm laughing! Thanks God he showed off his pecs!
fraternity president, definitely. LOL
How in heaven's name do you punish a kid for giving the babysitter the slip when it's followed by such a performace? It's totally brilliant.
Although I'm thinking international espionage, something in the James Bond line for young Busy D. Charming everyone, and his shirt off too!
Guess you can cross your name off next year's party list. huh.
Thank God the pants stayed on at least! Thank you for the laugh on a very dreary afternoon!
Fraternity president? Heck, I'm thinking American President!
I want to know which of your many evening gowns you wore!
Why stop at fraternity? The kid should be running the country.
Oh definitely a frat boy....he sounds like he wants to par-tay.
Some things are better left unknown until AFTER the fact, huh?
haha, he is busy, indeed!
What a riot! A great way to start my day, laughing! Thank you!
