Overnight an 11 year old boy was lost while on a school excursion & spent the night at Mount Warning...
I got to thinking how scary that would be for an 11 year old as they have no real life experience & he would have been panicing something terrible.
When I was about 8 years old I begged my Dad & Mum to let me catch the bus from school to my grandparents were my Mum would be & I'd meet her there. After alot of deliberation, lecturing & are you sure about 100 times, they caved & let me do it. Well I caught the bus and all was well until I jumped off the bus at the WRONG street (both started with G) & I hoped off at the wrong G street. I screamed all the way down the hill & a lady picked me up & drove me to my Mum (6 streets away) I was soooooo scared.
When the lady spoke to my Mum she told her that she thought I'd been attacked I was that hysterical!!! My grandparents still live in that house & I remember that day everytime I drive past that WRONG street.
It just goes to show the level of perception you have at different stages of your life, cause that's really nothing major & it happened 21 years ago & I still remember it vividly.
More recently my son who is 3 now was born after 10 & 1/2 hours of labor & had the umbilical cord around his neck. He was blue & had to have suction/oxygen & that was the scariest thing. He is perfectly fine now & enjoys fighting with his sister all the time
