weird day at work

For the past two years I have worked with the Grandview YMCA as a summer counselor. Dealing with kids everyday is always a weird time, but I can recall one day in particular that was weirder than usual. It was in the afternoon and the kids where getting their things together.The kids and the counselors were all tired from the long hot day and everyone was ready to go home. We get a call over our walkies that it was time for this kid to go home. We call for the kid but he is no where to be found. We search and search but cannot find him. By this time everyone is looking but he is still missing. The counselors begin to panic while searching all over for him. By this time the mother has pulled up waiting for her child. My boss goes up to her and explains to her the situation. She is very angry and has every right to be 30 min later the mother gets a call from her husband. The husband is calling to remind her that she needs to pick up the child from soccer practice at school. The kid never came to camp that day! The mother completely forgot about his practice and was very apologetic to the staff. We were just glad that it was a false alarm. That day was defiantly the weirdest day at work
