W<\/strong>orking overseas, we meet many good people and a few stinkers.<\/p>\n

There is a young lady down the hall from my office that drops by to visit and drink coffee every morning.\u00a0 At least once a week, she has an interesting tale concerning her twin 5 year old sons.<\/p>\n

One Monday morning, she came in and I could tell she had a ragged weekend.\u00a0 She sat quietly, and then casually commented, \u201cDid I tell you my kids ran away from home the other day?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAh, no!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah.\u00a0 They took off out the front door and the nanny ran after them.\u00a0 Outside, they split up and each went a different direction, and the nanny couldn\u2019t catch either of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

I waited, not knowing what to say.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had the local guard force looking for them, and the Security office was out trying to find them.\u00a0 I was worried sick!\u201d<\/p>\n

I assumed they were indeed found, so I said. \u201cWhere did they find them?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, they were in a bookstore in the mall.\u00a0 The one that has a bowl of free candy.\u201d<\/p>\n

And she continued. \u201cThey had to slip though the perimeter fence of the apartment compound and cross a very busy highway to get to the mall.\u00a0 I asked them how they were able to cross the highway, and they said, \u2018Oh, we held hands.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then she stated, \u201cI was so distraught, I didn\u2019t know whether to be relieved or angry.\u201d<\/p>\n

I did notice that she seemed to have a bit more gray in her hair.<\/p>\n

Kids.\u00a0 That had to have taken a year off her life.<\/p>\n
