Wow. That was entertaining to read.

A lot of the time, life forces us into habits and predictable routines. But this sounds incredibly jarring. I bet all your senses were alive.

It was pretty disorienting. I should've locked the doors when I saw him trying to get in, but that's like, not what you expect to need in that situation. I was fumbling all over what to do with my car/driving/locking/parking it while trying to get rid of this kid/get my clicker back.

Yea, it was entertaining to me but probably quite alarming to you. I'm glad it ended somewhat inconsequentially.

Ten year olds are crazy man. I have a cousin about that age. He's nuts. Totally pushing boundaries and finding out what he can get away with, all the time.
