So, Jo, my mom and I were at Wal-Mart-- my mom wanted to try on some clothes and stuff, so she let me take Jo to the toy section. We've gone there plenty of times by ourselves before, no big problem. However, this time was different...
We started out in the doll aisle. They were displaying a Barbie doll that had a built in camera or some crap, and Jo and I were fooling around with it. Then we went to the little kid aisle, where Jo turned on five Chicken Dance Elmos at once. We went to some other aisle, and Jo started playing with a microphone. Then, all of the sudden, she ran off. I chased after her, but...

She was gone.

Frantic, I looked down every aisle. No sign of the little monkey. I checked again. Nada. Again. Zip. I was like, Craaaaaaap... my mom is SOOO gonna kill me... what made it scarier was that my imagination was playing tricks on me, and I could've sworn I heard screaming coming from the back room... I continued searching until my mom showed up. I quickly explained what happened to her, and she looked ready to murder me. I was like, "She ran off! I chased after her, but she was gone!" My mom seemed to ignore my cries as she hurriedly marched over to the front of the store. She described what had happened, and what Jo looked like to an employee, and a Code Adams or whatever it's called was activated. My mom also sent me to search for her. I wandered into the clothes aisle, and after some searching, I was relieved to see none other than Jo with an employee. I headed back to my mom. By then, she and Jo were already reunited. Jo had apparently wandered off in search of her. Gee, Jo, thanks for telling me. My mom scolded her, and then thanked me for trying to find her.

Let's hope nothing like this happens again -_-'
