My drive to work takes me past the ILs house. A major road intersects their street. I'm at the stop on the other side of the intersection when I spot a little boy standing in the oncoming lane. When cross the intersection and and get closer to the boy I see he's bawling. I pull over immediately and grab him before he gets to the intersection.
I go to ILs and FIL answers and says he's sure the boy belongs to the neighbors and takes him over there. No answer at the neighbors. We take boy back to ILs house and II call H to get neighbor's phone number so I can call him AND the police. Just then a truck pulls into the nieghbors drive and the girl driving looks over at us with this look of, "Why does that lady have my kid?"
There are two or three families living in neighbor's house and this woman and her kid are moving in with Uncle Carlos. I guess she dropped her kid off this morning then went back to wherever she's currently staying to get more stuff. My guess is that Uncle Carlos wasn't awake when she left the kid there this morning and kid was probably left on his own in a strange place and decided he needed to go find mommy.
This mom was still dressed in her PJs. I'm assuming she doesn't have a job to pay for her fancy truck or she wouldn't need to move in with 10 other people.
MIL is thrilled you're joining the family.
