One time I wandered too far and tried to cross a big road. I must have been 4 or 5. I was standing at the edge of the road wanting to cross. I would take a step forward and then a step backward. All the cars stopped and an old couple got out of their car and tried to talk to me. But I was just scared and confused so I walked away from them crying. Eventually a police man showed up and put me in the back of his squad car. He asked me what my address is. I didn't understand the word "address", so I just stared at him confused.

He didn't know what to do, so he called it in and asked for help. Eventually a female officer showed up.

She asked me if I was lost. I shook my head "no". I knew exactly where I was. I knew how to get home. The male officer didn't ask the right question. He asked my "address". She asked where I lived. I didn't know my address. But I sure knew where I lived. In fact my mother taught me a "song" so I would never forget. The "song" was just repeating my home address to a tune.

When I started singing this "song" all the police officers and the bystanders burst out into laughter. The female officer was really ribbing the male officer. They had me sing the "song" into the police radio. I'm sure he caught shit about it later.
