Childhood Memory

On a summer night in the mid 90's, my parents went out and left me with a neighbor. I remember them saying that they weren't coming home that night, but that they would be home soon. As soon as they left, I immediately started crying. I thought they had left me for good. All night I just wanted to see my parents again. Since I was still young, I didn't understand that they would be back the next day. I believe that many people could relate to this when they were growing up. The parents leave, and you think they aren't ever coming back. Now that I am grown up, I get a good laugh out of this story. I have realized that I was too young to comprehend everything going on.
