When I was five years old. I had the adventure of a lifetime at the
Target store in Silverdale, Washington. My twin brother and I were
very good at getting in trouble and we used our twin ESP powers to
torture our parents. One of our favorite games we liked to play when
we were very young happened in large, crowded areas. The Target store
seemed huge to my brother and I because we were so small. It was like
a city full of places to hide and shelving units so tall they blocked
out the fluorescent lights. The aisles were wide like highways. All we
needed was our red racecar.
We had just arrived at the store and were hanging off the sides
of the bright red cart when we noticed our mother had stopped to look
at a coat. One moment of distraction was all we needed to send our
plan in motion. We were off to a great adventure and we didn't even
need words. We could just look at each other and know. The moment we
looked at each other and realized that the game was on, we ran. We ran
in two different directions and laughed and laughed.
Our mother could only chase one of us and she chose Hunter.
Hunter was faster than I was back then, so she generally went after
him first. He and I ran in and out of clothing racks and down aisles
selling towels and back into the clothing racks. The clothing racks
looked like tall buildings of cloth. We caught up with each other in
the middle of the pregnant lady section of clothing and jumped in the
middle of a round clothing rack. It was very dark being surrounded by
the clothing, and we felt completely hidden from the world. We could
hear our mother yelling and screaming and we thought this was one of
our greatest deeds ever. She was so close, but she still couldn't see
us. We were totally hidden, but we could hear her. We stayed in the
racks for about five minutes until my mother screams got a little
frightening. Her voice sounded like a high pitched train whistle with
words. Using our twin ESP, we decided that the game was over. We
should probably go back. Our mother calls this the worst 15 minutes of
her whole life. At the time we thought it was the greatest adventure
we had ever been on.
