The Watcher

On Saturday Cooper and I painted Topher's room. When it was nearly done, I left Cooper and Bryan at the new house, drove home, and got Topher so he could have a hand at painting as well. Phoebe, Sophie, and Peter stayed behind. As we drove there, the following conversation took place.

Topher: (sounding genuinely worried) Oh, I hope the kids will be okay at home.

Me: Oh, I think they'll be okay.

Topher: (more worried this time) I just hope they're okay.

Me: (realization dawning) Topher, have you been watching the kids at home all these days that we've been working on the house?

Topher: Yes. I've been watching them and keeping them safe.

And this whole time I thought he was the one being watched. Well, now I know.
