My dad and mom came to the game in separate cars. Both thought the other had me and they left me on the sideline watching another game. before that game was over my dad showed up screaming at me, like it was my fault. I was in first grade.

I left my son at home once when he was an infant. I put him in his seat, but left him inside the house in the AC because it was hot and I had to load the car and turn it on to cool it off. After I was done loading the car, I got in and left. I got about 5 miles away before I realized it. HE was sound asleep in his carseat in the foyer right where I left him. I was scared and pissed at myself, but no harm came of it.
