If it could happen to St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary, it could happen to anyone.
They didn’t literally “FORGET” him, the mother thought he was with the Father, the father thought he was with the mother. Since they weren’t sitting together, it’s bizarre, but understandable. I’m hoping this doesn’t become a they are horrible parents thread. Crazy things happen in this world and it doesn’t mean that the people who they happen to are bad people.
Just Wow.
I don't get it, if the other adults were running ahead of him, WHY couldn't he see that his son was not there.
I once walked away from my family while at Disney World.
My husband once left our son at a rest stop on I-80 in Pennsylvania (Brady’s Leap).
He was almost at the New Jersey state line when state troopers pulled him over. BTW our son was 16 years old at the time.
McCain and Kerry who chaired the Senate committee to determine the “honesty” of Communist Vietnam in their final report on the status of POW/MIA in order to OPEN NORMAL BUSINESS RELATIONS — found no evidence of foul play or deception by the Communists..
Imagine that!
So, one little kid temporarily "left behind" -- no big deal.
BS. BS. BS.
“Home Alone” KEVVINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!
I remember traveling from New York to Florida by car in 1959 to visit the grandparents. I, my sister, my mother (driving) and a friend of my mother's. We stopped somewhere in Virginia for lunch and took off down the road -- minus my 3 year old sister.
I was aware that we'd left her, but at 6 years old I wasn't terribly concerned. Mom noticed missing child in the back seat a couple miles down the road; we returned, picked her up and continued on. Child Protective Services didn't exist in those days to punish parents (and their children) who've made a mistake and sis grew up to be a loving wife, sister and successful businesswoman.
She also inherited Dad's sense of humor and laughs her a** off to this day when we retell the story to friends and our younger siblings..
