Attention Walmart Customers

"Attention Walmart customers. Will customer "mamae" please come to the customer service desk. Your party is waiting for you."
Yes, that's what I herd over the intercom this week while at Walmart. Christopher jumped out of the cart and disappeared in a matter of seconds. Luckily a "nice stranger" found him and took him to the front. When they asked him his mom's name he said "mamae." I think that hearing that over the intercom is what made me not want to "kill" him once I found him. I couldn't stop laughing. He knows my full name, our address, his grandparents names, and yet all he could remember is that he calls me mamae. Ahh, kids!
If you ask him his side of the story, it's quite different. He claims he was never lost. He just wanted to go play in the toy section. Then a lady came up to him and asked him his name and if he was lost. "No, I'm ok" he answered. Will he ever learn?!
I thought getting lost once would help him be afraid of wondering off, but no. I guess he never thought he was lost, hence he was never afraid.
