Lost

We are in the car it is too late to turn back. My mum and I were on our way to the supermarket. I hate going to the supermarket there are too many people and it smells bad of rotten food. My mum and I were now in the supermarket and trekking around looking for food. My mum sent me off to look for oranges. It took me ages to find them but I did in the end. I walked back over to where I had last seen my mum but she had gone.

"Mum!" I called out but I could not hear her, just the sound of people chatting as they collected their food in the busy supermarket. I wildly ran around the supermarket looking for her. I thought I saw her over by the cereal but there were so many people. I could not reach her no matter how hard I tried to push my way through the crowds of people.

"MUM! MUM! MUM!" I kept calling out but she did not come. I sat down and cried soon after a lady came up to me and asked me why I was crying. I blinked back more tears and replied,
"I can't find my mum!"
The lady replied, "well come on dear we will go and find her." She helped me to my feet. She took me to the reception desk and they asked me my name and then said through the loud speaker,
"Will the mother of Emma Stonier please come to the reception desk, your daughter is waiting for you."

My mum came rushing over to the reception desk and gave me a big hug and said,
"I was waiting by the oranges for you."
"Oh I went back but I could not find you," I replied. My mum thanked the lady and reception, paid for the food and we went home.

After that I don't think I ever wanted to go to the supermarket again... Not for a long time anyway.
