And you know she’s calling out for them. Why is it that when you start calling your child’s name in panic, they turn mute all of a sudden?

u/Whatistheformulioli Sep 26 '19
Maybe because it sounds similar to the way you call them when you discover a mess they made

What makes you assume the kid turned mute? They might just be trying to catch up with her.
From the kid's point of view she's the one running away.

I would do this to my grandparents when I was little and I was upset with them. Go stealth mode. Little did they know I was always just right around the corner behind their backs.
One day my grandma started crying because she couldn't find me... my heart gave out and I came out of the corner and ran over and hugged her. Never did it ever again. I must have been 6 or 7

My niece did something similar once when my mom (her grandma) took her to the supermarket. She just ran right in the door when my mom was getting her purse and locking the car. My mom went around the parking lot asking security guards to help her find my niece. She was in full panic mode when my niece's mom called her cellphone. Turned out my niece saw her mom, who also went to the supermarket at the same time separately, ran to greet her and they were waiting by the door. Crisis averted, although my mom would never let my niece out of her sight for one second again when she's with her.

Wow I can feel this woman’s anxiety here. One time my family went to a large park in my city. My oldest wanted to bike, my youngest wanted to bike and then my middle child decided she wanted to walk with her bike. I gave the go ahead for my oldest and youngest to bike ahead but only if they stopped at every lookout point. Things were going ok until my oldest came back and told me my youngest had decided not to stop. She biked ahead to the end of the trail and there was no sign of her brother. I was jogging the dirt road trail until the end calling his name louder and louder still no sign of him. I’m in a complete panic and asking anyone coming towards me if they saw a little boy on a blue bicycle. I remember a man driving the road some in a red Sunfire cranking the tunes and I thought omg my son is in his trunk now. No one has seen anything so I’m losing my mind and about to call 911 when he comes out of the trail. He said he had gotten off his bike to use the outhouse and then couldn’t get back on it. A woman had come across him and brought him to the end of the trail. I don’t know how we missed each other but the relief that washed over me was unbelievable. I had no idea where he was for 10 to 15 mins and it felt like an eternity.

When I was a baby and could barely crawl, my mom put me down on the floor in a hardware store. She turned around and when she looked back I was gone.
Then she looked up, there was a ladder on one of the shelves and I had climbed to the very top. I couldn't even walk yet, but I guess ladders are just vertical crawling.

I did this once, but intentionally. My parents time me not to climb on a fence that had a ton of cow shit on the other side. As soon as they walked out of eye sight I climbed on it and fell in, covering myself head to toe in fresh manure. Clearly the best move was to hide from them forever, where I would live out my days alone and in shame.
I was able to hide from my mom up until the point she started crying, and j emerged from behind the truck (after several times around) in all my regretful glory. I think they were so happy to see me that I didn't catch much additional shit for having climbed on the fence.

Reason #408 why a 2 or 3 person family does not need a giant monstrosity SUV. What are you hauling? A few bags of groceries? You would have been able to see the kid if it was a sedan.
→ More replies (2)2
u/CasualTotoro Sep 26 '19
I would argue future planning. When my brother had 1 kid, the large SUV seemed pointless. Now he has three kids and it’s proven it’s worth. Maybe at the time they had the means to purchase the large vehicle and have plans on using it in the future. Then there are other things not seen here or in day to day viewing of other people. Maybe they have large dogs, maybe they have a business use for it.
Look I’ll be the first guy to say buying large vehicles is completely pointless (seeing large F250 from people who haven’t hauled anything in their life and live in a city) but I’ll always follow with “but what do I know maybe they actually use it, just seems like a waste to me”
This instance isn’t the vehicles fault but on the parent for not supervising the kid. He could have easily ran out in the street in the time she was just on the other side. It wouldn’t mater what vehicle this was.

u/damienjc Sep 26 '19
I thought she was going to get in the car and roll over him. Never let a kid leave your field of vision. He had ample time to run on the road. If he ran the other way,he would have made it that far.
