... We have a lost mommy in the store. Stefanie, please come to customer service and claim your child."
Yup, that was us last week. If I could roll my eyes in typing that is what I would be doing right now. I was so mad, I've always been annoyed at "those" moms. How can you loose your child?!? Well, it happened to us.
We were looking at Halloween costumes (blasted Halloween!!) and Marley was becoming very frustrating to me. (Not to mention my body is going through changes due to a little birth control pill change, I know that is too information, but if it helps any in understanding what I was going through at the time... well, I tried.) Anyway, she was in a mood and she wasn't paying attention to me. So I walked away and she didn't listen or follow. I was just standing on the end of the isle and over a bit, and that is where they usually find us. This time Marley headed out the other end of the isle. When she wasn't coming, as we stood there arms folded and feet tapping, I decided to go back.
She wasn't there and then I got nervous. We were yelling for her and a kind sir said "She's over there." By the time I got to where "there" was she was gone. I was just about to head to customer service when they called for me. I was very relieved but a little upset at the same time. When I got there the worker lady said "She was very smart to come and find an adult." She wasn't crying or anything but she said she was very scared.
Yes she's very smart, maybe too smart. I wasn't happy about being one of "those" mom's but at the same time it had a happy ending so I was relieved. Needless to say when we went back today (why so much??) we didn't loose her. Both children stayed very close by. This mommy did, too.
Oh my word! That is a very scary thing, I am glad you found her and she was safe. We all have those moments where we are "that kind of mother." It's ok, no one is perfect :)
