another Alec story

I've said it before - I could fill an entire blog with "Alec stories". Since it's his birthday weekend, he merits one more. This is one of my all-time favorites.

Several years ago our neighbors went to Disneyland leaving behind their 18-year-old son, Mike. They received a frantic call from Mike one evening. He was really freaked out that someone had been in the house while he had run to the store. His parents quizzed him as to how he knew someone had been in the house. Mike said two popsicle sticks had been left on the counter. His parents started laughing and assured him there was nothing to worry about.

That's right. Alec had entered their home and helped himself to a couple popsicles.

It wasn't the first or the last of Alec's unlawful entries but it remains my fave.
