When I was four years old, I got lost while shopping at the mall with my mom. The mall seemed huge to me! There were so many stores and so much noise! The little boy looked around in awe of this great big place. My mom and I had just ordered our lunch in the food court and she let go of my hand to take money out of her wallet. The next thing I knew, I was wandering around, surrounded by a lot of big people. Loud music blared from a speaker on the ceiling. I called out for my mom, but the sound of the music, people talking, and babies crying swallowed up my small voice. Just as my eyes filled with tears, I looked up and saw my mom rushing towards me. I jumped into her arms and wrapped my arms around her neck! I have never been so happy to see my mom!
