“Come on, we’re late!” I yelled as I hurried my young son up the stairs to the doctor’s office. Very late. I thought I knew where the office was but I missed the turnoff and had to circle back around through the endless string of morning traffic.

I found him playing inside one of the plastic houses, but only after I had shut down the entire store in search for him.
