A Happy Summer Day

By Wendy Lee Klenetsky

O ne Sunday afternoon last Summer, Bobby went to the park with his
Mommy and Daddy. He saw his friends, and walked over to them.

Bobby and his friends played tag and hopscotch. They also took
turns going on the swings and playing in the sandbox. Some girls jumped
rope, and some boys had races. They were all having such a great time
together.

Then after a while, Bobby wanted to go and be with his Mommy and
Daddy. Because he was playing with other children, Bobby didn’t know
that his parents had left the park.  When he turned around and saw that
they were gone, Bobby started crying.

A police officer saw him and came rushing over to find out what was
wrong with him. What could have happened to make that boy cry?

“My name is Bobby, and my Mommy and Daddy are LOST!” he said
to the nice policeman. “I don’t know where they went. Can you help me
find them?”

The policeman said to Bobby, “Bobby, let’s go to the bus stop. That
will be a good place to wait for them. They will see us there”.

Then the policeman took Bobby to the bus stop.  Just as the
policeman had said, he and Bobby waited together, and before long his
Mommy and Daddy  got to the bus stop.  Bobby ran to them, and gave
them each a big hug and kiss. The policeman said to Bobby, “See,
Bobby, I TOLD you that they would find us at the bus stop and take you
home. Right?!”

Bobby smiled and said “That’s EXACTLY what he said, Mommy and
Daddy, and BOY was he right!”

Bobby’s Mommy and Daddy thanked the policeman for taking such
good care of their boy. Then they took Bobby by the hand and headed for
home.

When they got back to their house, Bobby smiled up at his Mommy
and Daddy and said “This WAS a happy Summer day!

Yikes.. Parents left kid at the park? Sounds like someone needs to call child protective
services.

And bus stop? Why the bus stop?

I’m sure in real life, the officer would have taken the kid into cps, eventually found out who
the parents are, either charge them with neglect/ endangerment or taken the kid away in
general.

Horrible. Why would this child’s parents leave him at the park and why would the police
officer suggest waiting at the bus stop?? This story made no sense!
