It was 1984...................... My son was 7 years old and the schools were going full force instructing them about possible children abductions and how to avoid it. It was a very scary time for them Our town had a Saturday where we took the kids for finger printing just to have it on file. One of the points of instruction they were hammering into the kid's heads was that no adult should ask a kid for directions and it was suggested for them to start yelling and run in the opposite direction into a neighbor's house/yard. One afternoon the kids were playing outside and low & behold there comes my son, running and yelling, out of breath afraid and hugged me nervously. I asked him what happened. He told me: Mom, an adult asked me for directions! proudly he added.......... and the Domino Pizza sign on top of his car was not going to fool me! We still pick on him about that and he is now 31 years old.
