Ramen lunch

They chose ramen for lunch today. Meanwhile Ton and I were getting more food in a food court, Mo disappeared. Off course I had told him to stay and have his ramen which he has agreed, but he was gone when we returned. Couldn't find him in the food court. Mama freaked. All kinds of possibilities came up to mind. Ton said he might went back to the aquarium to ride on the trains again. I immediately called for papa's help. He jumped on taxi right after my call. Among the all measures I could think of, decided to stay where we were in case Mo would come back to look for us, which I somehow thought would be the most likely scenario, plus for papa to find us. Talking with Ton what to do, meanwhile I had my lunch since I hadn't had chance to eat as I was getting kids lunch, to prepare for any situation.
After about 20 min or so since he disappeared, I heard familiar voice hamming. And there he was. Intact. Asked him what happened, then he said he went to play with his friend on a train. Ah, the train. Ton guessed it right. He indeed walked back to the aquarium, found the train, and even made a friend to play with, AND found his way back to us. I had nothing to say but told him not to disappear without telling me anything.
I don't think this would be the last time he disappears. But somehow I'm proud of my son who did not get lost and cry in this crowd, but come back where he started.
Kids are amazing. Our adventure continues.
