That way I know if I can't get to the bus for some reason or emergency, and she knows likewise, that our kids are taken care of and won't be left in the lurch. It's a good idea to make these kinds of arrangements, you NEVER KNOW when there is an emergency when this is the best kind of situation to have.
I also used to have a "secret word" with my son. That way if someone needed to get him that wasn't me, they would tell him the secret word and he'd know I really sent them. We never had to use it, but I just had visions of me semi-conscious somewhere and him at DFACs because he wouldn't let anyone know who he was
