When little I was tempted by the media to run away as a child. There were movies on kids running away, teens running away, overall just people in running away. It was like the movie fad to do in America so this made my parents worry. My parents thought the media would influence me to run away, which is why one evening my dad thought this influence came true.
This event happened when I was about 9 or 10 years old. That evening I had to walk home after school because my parents were unable to pick me up. They had to stay in work later than usual that day so I had to stay home alone after school for awhile. That evening I was tired so right when I got home I just rested my head on the dinner table. Apparently, I rested for so long where I fell asleep.
While being asleep my Dad comes home from work about an hour or so later. Right when he gets in the house he yells for my name. No response. He checks every room and finds me nowhere in sight. This is when he starts to freak out. My Dad runs out of the house to the neighborhood. He jumps in his car and drives around the neighborhood and places that I would usually be at. While he is in this freak out stage I am still sleeping on that table.
He was apparently gone from the house searching for 30-45 minutes until he decided to head back. He sits on the couch waiting in the living room hoping to see me enter through the front door. Twenty minutes later I wake up and enter the living room. I see my Dad sitting on the couch and I say, "Oh hey Dad." After saying those words that is when my Dad tells me the story of him searching for me all evening thinking I ran away.
Sleeping on a table causes stress

I used to run away.
i love that asian parents work night and day and leave their kids at home by themselves. How did we all end up so normal?

<3
lol, wow
haha I ran away once, and my parents didn't even know =\
Almost the same thing happened to me when I was a kid, except I fell asleep under my bed trying to find shoes to wear to school the next day. My bedroom window was open and my mom thought I jumped out the window. She was on the phone screaming at the cops for an ambulance when I crawled out and asked what the racket was about.

lol wow! And you were there the whole time...hahaha =) Good one. Thanks for sharing. BTW, Your food post looks good ! Cooking is fun =]
Hahaha. Clueless. He shoulda looked at the dinner table! At least it shows that he loves and cares about you. I take it, this is when it would have been useful if you had a mobile phone back then. Those little devices come in handy all the time now. If your child has one you can call 'em and find out where they are etc.
