Today, I went shopping with my mom. I went into my department and tried on some clothes. After a few minutes, there is an announcement that a child has gone missing. Staff are searching the store. I see my mom and she hugs me in tears and yells, "I found her!" I'm almost 17. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went shopping with my parents. Halfway through, I got separated from them and tried to call them only to find out my cell phone battery was flat. A few minutes later, an announcement was made for a lost child. It was by my parents. I'm 36. FML
Today, my mom and I went to Winn-Dixie. I told her I was going to a different isle 5 minutes later I hear my name on the intercom to go to the front of the store. As I go I see my mom crying, she comes and hugs me and tells me she thought I was lost. Im 22, I had my cell phone, and I drove there. FML
Today, I got lost at Best Buy. Meanwhile, my mom freaked out, and they called out my name over the intercom. When I walked up to the desk and they saw I was 17, the employees burst out laughing. FML
Today, a crying kid was brought to my attention by a customer. He was so upset from losing his mom that he couldn't say his or his mom's name. I took him around the store asking him to point out his mom. Once we'd found her she told me, "I was hiding from my kid to test his independence." FML
Today, while shopping, I saw a little girl and her mom. The girl was pouting so I tried to cheer her up by asking her if she was a princess, because she was so pretty. She smiled but her mom looked at me with disgust and told me to, "Get lost, pedo." I'm a 17-year-old girl. FML
Today, I was in a store with my mom. I wandered off, then walked around looking for her. I spotted her, and decided to put on a ski mask to give her a scare for a laugh. I hid around a corner and yelled "BOO!" when I saw her. It wasn't my mom, and I'm now banned from that store. FML
Today, I went to the store with my 4-year-old daughter. While I was trying to change into tight jeans, which weren't completely on, my daughter opened the curtain and yelled, "It's the Mommy Show!" Everyone there heard her and saw me. FML
Today, I was at the mall and I saw a kid crying. I asked her "What's wrong sweetie, are you lost?" She ran away screaming "Help me!" I ended up having to explain to a dumb mall cop that I'm not a perv. FML
Today, I caught and kicked a shoplifter out of my store. The shoplifter was my mom. FML
Today, I went into my Moms room to look for a t-shirt. I went into her drawer and behind all of her clothes was a cell phone. Not only did I not find the t-shirt, I also found out my Mom is cheating on my Dad with someone from work and now I have to pretend like I don't know. I work there too. FML

I don't get why people shop with their moms once they're old enough to drive themselves or most likely have friends that could drive. Unless "almost 17" means 15, go without her.

I shop with my mom all the time. ever heard of bonding with your mom? Mother/daughter afternoons? obviously not.

My mommy pays for things when I have her take me shopping :) But seriously, my parents refused to let me get in a car with a friend driving it when I was that age. And if OP's mom is protective enough to do this, I'm willing to bet she would also refuse to let OP ride with her dopey teen-aged friends.

I go shopping with mom sometimes, and I am married and have an 8yr old child of my own. Its more to spend time together than to shop.

I called them & told them my mom was missing. No service in the store at all, and I searched the store for at least 30 minutes. Turns out she had been searching for me the whole time. Its better to be safe than sorry. its not like you're ever going to see the people again.

You will still be your mothers child at 70.

There have been a lot of women older than you who have been abducted from stores. ydi if you didn't tell her you were leaving. On the plus side, now is a great time to ask her for a cell phone if you don't have one.
