to get a bottle of homemade root beer. I couldn't get the cap off and laid down on a stack of throw rugs on the floor to take a nap.

My parents suddenly realized I was awfully quiet and went looking for me. Terrified when they couldn't find me, they guessed one place I might be was the pig lot, as there were new babies that were so cute.

With everyone at alert and running all over the place looking for me, my brother went to the basement and found me in the canned goods room fast asleep.
