The little stinker was hiding in the clothing racks then actually lost me as I was frantically hunting for him. I'd like to say I gave him a good talking to but we were both so scared I only remember a lot of hugging. And maybe a few tears.LD Mastersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202135756299574972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-4501411248705243012012-07-13T05:44:08.691-07:002012-07-13T05:44:08.691-07:00Mind you, like Ali, they only did it once.
