Questionable parenting
"Investigators said Gretchen Morales disappeared from her Davenport home last week and left her two young children there alone. She showed up in St. Petersburg the next day and told police two men in a van had abducted her. Monday, Morales confessed that she really went to Busch Gardens to meet a man."
Woman Who Claimed Abduction Was Actually At Theme Park (WFTV, 11/21/06)
I say her fatal flaw was going somewhere kids actually belong. She should've gone to a casino and that would've been a good enough excuse (for me, maybe not the cops) since kids aren't supposed to be there. My parents left me and my brothers to go to Atlantic City hundreds of times (I mean, once or twice) and we turned out okay. Didn't we? Huh?
Once, they took us to the casinos, but left us alone in the arcade room where we proceeded to stick about 100 quarters in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. It was an awesome half hour of our lives.

I remember playing the Teenage Mutual Ninja Turtles arcade in Atlantic City! It was the three of us and one of our cousins. I remember running back to Dad to get some more money! Oh, good times.

Your memory is going with your age... It wasn't our cousins, but our "cousins" from Montreal. You know what I mean.
