Have you ever lost a family member in a store or public place?  Have you ever been lost yourself? 

My answer:

I lost my nephew Stephen once in a mall.  If I remember correctly he was six years old.  Unknown to me, he had wandered into a store (IKEA), while I was talking to his sister Kelly.  If you know anything about IKEA it is filled with endless sections of furniture.  I ran through the mall looking for Steve in sheer terror, searching out a security guard to help.  Finally Steve came out the other end of the store, calmly, and said "Gee, I never thought I would get out of there!  There were beds, and tables, and chairs!"  I just looked at him... 

Now what's your answer?  Tell us your "lost story"!  

Krissy :)

    My mom lost me when I was about 5....and I ran out of the store crying.  Thankfully, some lady followed me out and brought me back in.   My mom had 4 other children, and I was just sure she had forgotten her baby and left.
    Mom found me, finally, and all was well.
    About the same thing happened to me with my daughter, and she ran out of the store crying.   I think, after her running away from me several times, I had told her if she wandered off again I was going to leave her there.   She wandered off, and when she couldn't find me, she was sure I left.   It all turned out ok, though.  I found her and I so wanted to spank her!   (I didn't.)

    thanks to this question now you'll know that once I went to the bank with my 4 y o daughter and a newborn son....left the bank and after about halfway out the door of the mall (the bank is inside the mall) I realized I forgot something.....
    I turned around, went back to the bank and luckily no one had noticed (yet) a (my) newborn baby in a stroller, ALONE, in the corner section of of the bank! :-)

    another time, I was at the mall with my daughter (no son yet) I didn't drive yet at that time so I had to call my husband to pick us up, but I called my mother in law first to ask her what was MY home phone number.

    and then this other time....I just had my second baby..went back to work after two weeks..somebody asked me what's my son's name and I forgot! I had to asked a co-worker what is MY son's name.

    for a while...I was afraid that's the sign of alsheimer's..?

    hope not.
    Gem :-)

    lol. My big sis (one who I have not mentioned yet) once left my wee treasure in the supermarket. She wheeled her trolley out the door and was heading towards the car to put it away when she was stopped briefly by her neighbour, who luckily asked her if she was on her own!!! The penny dropped and she went back in..looking! Ohhhh What a woman! lol Love Pam xx
