“Charles! We’re going to Wal-Mart”!
“I don’t want to go!” I said to my mother.
“No choice at all!”
“Fine” I said her.
So then we were off. The trip there was 15-20 minutes long, but of course I didn’t know that at the time because I was only seven years old. When we got to Wal-Mart I had said, “Lets get games!”
“No,” my mom replied. But I guess at the time the word “NO” didn’t mean what it was supposed to mean. So we walked in, Mom, Dad, and I. Dad wandered off somewhere so I was stuck with mom. I saw a huge sign that read: ELECTRONICS. My eyes lit up like light bulbs. I left my mom and headed down the path to heaven. When I got there I saw racks of games and movies. I saw a Gameboy Advance SP connected to the glass window and started playing it. 15-20 minutes later I got bored so I looked, and my mom wasn’t there. I started thinking ,were is she? What have I done? I saw a clerk walking towards me and he asked me: “What’s wrong, little man?”
“Where is my mommy?” I told the big man,
“Don’t worry, I’ll find her,” the huge guy said to me.
He walked to counter and asked “What’s your mommy’s name?”
“April,” I replied to the man.
“Okey dokey,” he said.
I heard him on the loud speaker reporting: “April please report to the Electronics department! We have your child!”
I saw her walking towards me looking like an overcooked stake. She was so hot, furious, and angrier than ever! because she found me. But then I kind of felt scared because I thought I was in huge trouble. “What were you thinking!?” she said while hugging me.
“I don’t know. I’m sorry, momma,”
“Its ok I’m just glad I found you,” she said to me.At first I was feeling happy because she found me. But then I kind of felt scared because I thought I was in huge trouble. But then she planted a huge, wet kiss on my face. “Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!” I told to her while hugging me.
I guess my lesson learned was to never wander off like that again if your parents say don’t leave. Because I was grounded for two whole weeks!
