Lost, Again

Yesterday we went to the zoo. We were with my extended family. I made joke about how they lost me.

When I was 6 years old, I went with my dad's side of the family to the zoo. At some point I looked at the gazelle. I thought that it was a deer. I went to point it out to my family, but they were gone. It was at the Columbus Zoo and aquarium, one of the top 10 largest zoos in the world. And I was lost. I stayed there for a while, cried. Then a nice family came along and rescued me. They put me in their wagon with their 2 daughters. The wagon was a teal color. (I remember this vividly becuase it looked like the one that my babysitter had.) I don't know how my family found me, but they realized I wasn't with them. We eventually met up at Habitat Hollow. Why am I telling you this now?

Yesterday my little sister was lost at the zoo. We lost her around the aquarium. She followed another family around. (I'm guessing this part) When they realized this then they had the staff take her. They also gave her $40 for the gift shop. (I don't know why) We were looked for her, only for about 10 minutes when the Staff found us and gave her back.

As we were walking back I remembered somthing my dad told me about. I point to my younger brother.

"He once shut down Walmart." Nutrally my cousins were astounded. So I tell them the tale. He was 3 at the time. (Also we lost my brother o many times when he was little it's ridiculcous.) We were at Walmart when my parents realized he was missing. They look around, and eventually tell someone. They belive it's possible he was kidnapped, so they didn't let anyone out of the store. My brother eventually wondered back to us. To this day no one know where he went.

Later in the gift shop, (for the $40 my sister got) My mother and I were talking about Zoo Shirts.

"They should have a 'I got lost at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.' shirt!"
