Just A Little Comical

"Just a little comical", is what the officer told me.

This morning I was on the phone with DJ for our routine morning phone call; I call him every morning around 10am while I am on break at work. He was going back inside from taking Gabby out and everything seemed fine until we got disconnected. It sounded like he had fallen to the ground or dropped his phone. I figured he dropped it so I gave him a few minutes for him to call me back. When he didn't call me back I tried calling him. After a little bit I began to worry and continued texting and trying to call him.

With no response I asked his mom, Carrie, what she thought I should do. She suggested I call our apartment complex and have someone go to our door and check on him. It had already been an hour and a half since we were on the phone and I was more than worried at this point. (maybe this is the sign I watch too much TV) I called our leasing office and the woman said she would send someone from the maintenance crew up; then she called back to say there was no one on site and she would be sending an officer to my apartment. I was staring at the clock waiting for a call. I was nervous. What if something happen to DJ? What if someone was inside when he returned and they hurt him and did something with Taylor? I was a nervous wreck and too many bad thoughts were running through my mind - mainly previous episodes of shows like Law & Order.

Then my phone rang. The man on the other end told me he was an officer with the City of Thornton and said, "I just wanted to let you know your husband was ok and so was your baby. He just dropped the phone in the toilet while he was talking to you. So everyone is ok, just a little comical, that's all". That's what the officer told me.
