have you ever gotten lost? i think i was 5 years old when i got lost. it was in the church. my grandma and i were going out and amidst the bodies in front of me i noticed that she wasn't the one infront of me anymore. i didn't know what i did: whether i cried or shouted for my grandmother but i really do remember the beggar who was selling candles who asked me to sit on her lap at the door of the church. next thing i knew my grandma was there.

I think i was six when a family friend brought me along with her and attended a relative's wedding in a nearby province. It was a rural area with grassy fields and woods beyond it. I can't remember why i left the party and tried to go to the house where we were to stay for the night. Somehow as i was trying to find my way i got lost in the woods and couldn't find the trail as it was then about to go dark and the night was slowly approaching. I didn't panic though, maybe because i still can hear the music from the partyplace and knew that i have not wandered very far. I followed the direction of the sound and got back without anybody noticing my short absence.

I have a funny story about getting lost. When I was about 14 years old I decided I was going to run away. I took off from my house, confident that I would make my own way in the world. It turned to night, and all of the sudden everything looked so different. I was very disoriented and got scared. At one point I finally scared myself enough that I was ready to go home. I called my dad and gave him the cross roads of the gas station I was calling from. He came to get me, and it turned out I was only 2 miles from home, and a straight shot down the main road!

i guess you seldom go out of your house. imagine, straight shot down 2 miles from your house!:) maybe you just need to go out and not run away. was that running away followed by running away some more? i was just reminded because i ran away 3 times.:)

It's not that I didn't get out of my house often, I just didn't run straight down the street. I ran here and there and everywhere until I confused the heck out of myself when it got dark. I did not run away after that. I wanted to, but I scared myself good enough the first time. I was not an easy teenager.

I was 4 then. And my mum left me at some wishing well in the States whilst she went shopping.

We were there as tourists and had finish our tour of Disney Land. Being 4, i hated shopping and my mum wanted to shop. SOOO she had this brilliant idea to leave me at the wishing well to watch those coins.

And with that, she left me there alone and went shopping. Being 4, i got scared when i turned around to ask her about why people keep throwing their money into the water and she wasn't there.

Thank God that there were very kind locals who brought me to the information counter. My mum later got scolded by all our relatives. Because i could have just been abducted or lured away and all those paranoid stuff that old people think of.

were you lost a long time ago? i mean i think there are a lot more mean people out there now.

you reminded me of this little boy at the mall. he was alone near the elevator service. i didn't see anyone around that indicates that the little boy was with them but i just thought there was somebody since the little boy wasn't crying. you see, there are still shoppers who leave their little ones close by (just like in your experience:) ). but i still played it by the rules or so i thought. i asked the little boy, 3 years old i think, where his mom is. i guess the little one was taught not to talk to strangers which was a little detrimental in that case since i couldn't help the boy out. so, i played it safe and left him near the elevator service since a staff from the elevator is bound to figure out if that child is lost or not. i don't want to accompany or even carry him to the information at the mall for i might have a crying, scared child and people might think i was kidnapping him or doing something bad to him.
