I remember a time I was 6 or 7 yrs old, it was after a big family dinner, I went outside to play for a while. Growing up in the south, summer and autumn are suffocating hot to miserable unless you have access to air conditioning. I soon tired of the heat, seeking the shelter of a cedar tree that grew at the front corner of the house. I sat next to the house, hidden by the cedar tree, and fell asleep. Furthermore, I don't know how long I napped, but my siblings and parents woke me in a panic, they thought I had wandered off. Fast-forward to this decade, a missing child is more likely to cause parents to call the police if a child is missing more than 2 minutes.
