My brothers and I weren't runners, we were burrowers. The one time that any of us really truly call-the-police-in-a-panic vanished, it was the middle one, Chris (Cass's future intended), who disappeared without a trace one afternoon at the age of two. After several hours of searching the house top to bottom, our parents, in hysterics, called the local police, who started scouring the neighborhood and did one last walk-through of the house looking for any possible evidence. They found Chris at the bottom of an 18-inch high pile of laundry in the corner of the second closet in the master bedroom, playing quietly and very pleased with himself for finding such a warm and cozy nest.
Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Jessica, on Top Chef I agree that Candace had to go, but I wanted Stephen to go before her. Especially because there is no excuse for speaking to someone the way he spoke to her in the previous episode. So, I wanted Stephen gone this week and Candace next week.
I don't have any memories of wandering very far. I was too scared of things to wander very far. The few times that my mother thought I had wandered off at store, I wasn't actually very far away, and usually I was hiding under one of those big, round clothing racks.
One day I couldn't find my mom at Caldor's (a Bradley's/Marshall's/KMart type store) and was convinced that she had left without me, so I walked home. Well, more like, ran home. It had to have been at least 2 miles. I passed by our local corner market and the owner, Eldo, was outside and tried to stop me. But I was TOO FAST for the old man.
Oh boy, I got into a lot of trouble. Our state Congressperson, Barbara Kennelly was helping my mom tear apart Caldor's looking for me. I did not inspire any local laws, however.
AAAAAAHHHHH! I'm in work hell, I leave for a trip at 1 today, I still have to pack and shower. AAAAHHHHH!
Hey there super grad school star!
And leave it to Nora to make me smile like a loon even in panic mode.
My work here is done.
"NORA'S LAW" would allow you to spank the hell out of your kid in a Caldor's if she scared you to death?
Hee! Sounds like you had a wonderful trip. I'm so glad.
Hmmm, the only lost moment I can recall was the time I crossed the street by myself to go to the park. My mom freaked but figured out where I might have gone. She beat my butt when she found me happily playing on the monkey bars. That's the only spanking I remember ever getting.
