A Man On Our Porch

This afternoon Silas was having room time when he came out of his room, found me in the house, and told me he saw a man on our porch. Since I was in the living room at the time and knew I hadn't heard anyone on the porch, I thought he was just trying to get out of room time. I told him he could probably just see Mr. Lynden working on his truck and he needed to go back to his room until I came and got him. I didn't think anything of it until a few minutes later when we were headed outside. He again asked me about the man on the porch. Still thinking he was talking about Lynden or maybe Caleb walking past, I went to the front door to prove to him that there was no man on our front porch. I opened the door and said, "See, there's no man on our porch." That's when I looked down and found one of his army men on the welcome mat. So, sure enough, we had a man on our front porch.
