Speaking of losing children...
Jun. 8th, 2007 01:31 amToday Ana got left in an elevator.
For about three seconds. Then I turned around, saw her still in there, saw the doors closing, screamed a bit and hit the button. Problem solved!
I think she was fine until I screamed, because she came out frowning and said "I was scared". This gave us all a great opportunity to review the rule for What To Do If You Are Lost, so instead of saying "I was scared" she started going "Yeah. I stood still where I was, and you came and got me!"
(Not that she had time to go anywhere, but it's the principle of the thing. If she gets lost, she is to stay where she is, unless she's on a bus or a train. Then she's supposed to get out at the next stop and proceed to stay where she is.)
