only my overtired dad just spaced out. They came looking for me later. I was three.

Face it, parents of young children are the most sleep deprived adults on the planet. In a complex society like ours, kids are occasionally going to be left in dangerous situations they never faced when we were hunter-gatherer types and left the cradle board hanging on a tree near the blackberry bushes.

Once is a mistake. Twice is the beginning of a bad habit. Three times, they lose the kids while they take parenting classes.
