Scooter MIA

Here's a funny Bordeaux story: We're staying at this hotel in the city center but our room is not in the main building, it's across the road and we have our own door code and key. The room is not huge, so we left the girls scooters right outside the door in the hallway. Our room is on the second floor. There is not a lot of traffic in the building, I think maybe just hotel guests. When we woke up yesterday morning and set out for breakfast, Lili's scooter was missing. Noa's was there, where we had left it. I couldn't believe a scooter had been picked, unbelievable! We tell Lili we'll get her another one. Then something strange happened in Ethan's brain and he started thinking like a college student. He says I'm just going to check on the other floors to see if it's there. What? Why? He goes upstairs. Yep, here it is. How did you know that? He said, well, there was a party up there last night (it was kind of loud) and if I was a kid going on a beer run, I'd borrow one of these scooters. They probably thought they belonged to the hotel. Or not. But, what's the harm? And then they just didn't bother to return it to the same floor. I guess that makes sense but weird that Ethan would think of it. I'm going to chalk it up to the fact the he's a professor and he's needs to be able to think like his students in order to stay one step ahead!
