I don't know why I'm laughing, because it most certainly is not funny.

First, the background. At Great Wolf Lodge they have this "Magic Quest" game where you take a wand and go on an electronic scavenger hunt. One of the stops is a box with a video of a sleeping, snoring guy who grumpily wakes up when you point your want. To Eddie and Chas, "Snoring Guy" is extremely scary.

So, on day 2 of our most recent visit, we were exhausted and resorted to using the elevator for a couple of items. We got on floor 2 with a big crowd of people, many of whom needed off on floor 4. We were headed to floor 5. So at floro 4, we all jostled and moved to let the 4th floor folks off. Chas says, "Where's Eddie?" I look around. "Where's Eddie?" Chas asks again. Now, as the doors begin closing, I'm on the case, looking around. Steph says he's in here with us, but I didn't see him. As the elevator begins moving up we hear -- from outside the door -- a plaintive (but fading as we rise) wail of "Heeeeey!"

We got out and Steph double-timed it down the flight of stairs to find our boy. He was holding back tears semi-successfully, but lost it when he saw her. Then he told us the worst part -- it happened to be Snoring Guy's floor, and he's right by the elevators. So Eddie was abandoned right next to something he's terrified of. Great moments in parenting. We kept chuckling every time we recounted the story, but Eddie was rightfully upset by this. Because, really, from his perspective, it's not funny now and probably won't be for another couple of decades.
