The Age of the Dinosaurs. Haha.
I’m not sure if my parent s were exaggerating or not but they said that when I was young, like toddler young, whenever we go to the malls and they put me down I would just disappear into thin air. I would get into these clothe racks, and just run into places. I remember when I was a kid, around 5 years old I think, there was a time when I got separated from my Mom. Well, at first I didn’t know I was lost yet. Not until I looked backed and couldn’t find her anymore. Then I panicked.
I was running around the whole floor, just shouting “Mommy!”. I even remember thinking that a mannequin was a REAL and living human being. I was asking her if she saw my Mom, “she” was not answering me so I tugged on “her” arm hoping to get her attention. To my shock, her arm fell off, and I thought I killed her or something. Then this saleslady got mad. I ran away from her, haha.
I was crying already and was still wandering around when finally I saw my Mom- that made me one very happy little girl. Haha.
A similar story happened earlier minus the mannequin and the crying. It started when I left my cellphones at home. I only realized it when I got to school and the exams were to start in a few minutes.
I had a dilemma.
A huge dilemma.
I was supposed to meet up with a friend of mine for lunch then meet my Mom to go shopping?
But how was I supposed to do that without my phone? I couldn’t tell them were I was.
I felt like I couldn’t survive the day without my phone. It’s like I was back during the primitive years. I ended up borrowing other people’s phone. Hahaha. At that moment, no poise mattered to me just as long as I “felt” that I can still connect with my friend and my Mom.
Contacting my friend was easier than going to the mall with my Mom. I found out that we have a similar trait in common- we can’t stay put. Sure, I’m already 22 and all, but when you leave me, and leave me phone-less (without a clue where I might find you), I PANIC. Haha. We went to the Department store to buy stuff, and I just took a few steps around the stall when I turned around my Mother vanished (or to her- I vanished).
It was a painful circumstance literally- for my feet. I already had half of my mind to go to the Customer Service to ask the lady to page my Mom. Yes, it was that crazy. Hahaha.
But I don’t know… It was fun. I also realized how attached we are (I am) to my cellphone. I told my Mom that I felt like I was in the primitive era, she just told me that I was just too used to having a phone around. Oh well. At least now I’m back to the digital world. Hahahaha.
