The Time Gerry Thought He Lost Michael

(taken from our old .mac site)


Spring 2006


So we had a family outing at Market Mall and after lunch mom & baby Leah parted ways with dad & Michael. mom & L left first to get a head start at browsing the shops, dad & Michael were going to check out the playground, pet store and toys r us right after a bathroom break.


So Michael is running circles around Gerry as they are heading for the bathroom and Gerry takes his eyes off of M while he takes care of business and as he's washing his hands it strikes him that M wasn't around.


Dad calls out in the bathroom - no answer.

Dad runs out and does a quick scan - no M in sight

Dad calls for him - no answer

Goes back into the bathroom - no M


Click! Panic sets in. He leaves the bathroom and yells at the top of his lungs M I C H A E L !!!!!!!


The whole food court stops and looks his way, even the workers at the food court booths from a&w to orange jullius stop to look at who made such a loud yell. And M pops up from around the corner "i'm right here" as he swings his arm across himself and has a mischievious grin on his face.


Gerry picks him up and doesn't stop running until they were out of the food court.
