CODE ADAM!! We have a CODE ADAM!!

Store: Walmart
When: Sat
What: doing the Sat shopping...Saturday is a special day its the day we get ready for...
Who: all 7!

Mission: Hit the store and get out ASAP!
What actually happened???

Shopping, kids hanging off the basket, Scott at the Deli, push some more, look at the list; check, check, and check! We have it all.
Wait, Scott is at the Deli still, well, he'll meet us at the check out line. Look around, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 kids...CHECK! Burp! URP! oh oh! My tummy is not feeling "it" anymore!

Race to the check out. Full, Full, hey! One is open! Race over there. YES! get in and start unloading, milk, ice cream, wait get the lettuce out, just lift up the other drinks... beep beep beep. check. Where is Scott? He should have been here by now.

Pay, finish, hummm count 1, 2, 3, 4...where is number 5???? Race to the sides, look in the bathroom, check the "fun center" (really it is a torture center..Can I mom, NO!)
Finally, test the tummy...it is sick, and now the Spirit is telling me to send out the code!

"Attention Walmart shoppers, we have a CODE ADAM! It is a little girl 4 years old, purple pants, brown shoes..." Wait! Look, Wait, wait...

Suddenly the manager says, they have her. She is with your husband back in electronics...
Race to the back of the store. There she is, there Scott is...talk, help, talk, and suddenly, "hey Mister, is this your daughter?"
Scott: "Yes."
Walmart helper #2"Is this your daughter?"
Scott: "Yes"
Walmart helper # 7: Is this your daughter?"
Scott: "Yes"
Suddenly we got the strange feeling that the 7 walmart helpers are sizing Scott up to see how many of them its going to take to take him down.

It was time to leave the store. All is well, Virginia is safe...thanks Code Adam...

Scott-
Next time, instead of saying "yes" you should have some fun with them. You should say "well, if she isn't, what are you going to do about it?" After you see their panic-stricken faces (when they have NO idea what to do with you), then you can politely laugh and tell them that she is.

I'm glad you found her. Maybe you should get a leash for all 6 of them, yes I'm including Scott since he was lost too.
