I have another memory to recall...
90's Atlantic city...
I'm down in the casino it's 3am. I'm playing craps and winning. Everyone else in the family is upstairs sleeping.
I hear a page about a young child and for the parents to come to security. I dismiss it.
10 minutes later, I hear the child's name, and I think hmmm sounds close to my cousin's let me at least check it out. I excuse myself from the table and go investigate.
I see my cousin with the security personnel, he's wailing. I cannot believe that he made his way downstairs. Apparently he left the hotel room to go to grandma and grandpa's room, something he did when he was a kid at home.
Door closed behind him. And well, like the lifeguard stations, they all look the same, and he had no idea where to go to next. Some cleaning people found him wandering the hallway crying....
His parents were sleeping too, he was snug in bed. Did that make them bad parents?
he wouldn't behave in the markets, so they never took him. he didn't behave in restaurants so they didn't take him. When he started behaving, was when he started being allowed to go anywhere.
