Yesterday’s corner time: 3 Minutes.

There was an incident last week, which I haven’t yet mentioned. Once again, I became lost at Chessington World of Adventures.

Mum was walking along chatting to her friend and I stopped to look at a stone on the floor. I thought that this would be a perfect addition to my collection. However, on looking up, Mum was nowhere in sight.

Therefore, I did what any sensible three year old would do. I turned around and walked in completely the opposite direction.

Meanwhile, Mum was frantically looking for me and after 15 minutes, contacted Park Security. Eventually, I was found and was fortunately reunited with my Mum and less fortunately, with Becca also.

The reason why I mention this now is that as a result, I have been tagged. Electronically tagged.

Severe you might think and possibly an infringement of human liberties but not according to my Dad. He believes this will help increase his life expectancy and reduce the number of heart stopping moments.

I’ve got a little tag which is fastened to my belt and starts beeping if I stray too far away from my parents. They also have a hand held sensor device, which alerts them that I’m trying to escape, leading them to my exact location.

This is ruining my games of hide and seek.

In a few months time, I’ll have mastered the dexterity required to undo my belt and instead, I’ll strap it to a whippet.

Let’s see how my Dad’s heart copes with tracking that.

Matthew.

in addition to running in the opposite direction, you could have hidden. there must have been loads of places you could have gone. do you think you're really working hard enough at this?
