Locked

For some reason I love to fall asleep in the car, there is just one problem. My parent always forgets about me in the car. Why do I always do this? Usually, I can get out of the car just fine, it’s not like they lock me in. Well, one day they forced me to go to Walmart with them. So I told them that if I fell asleep to just leave me in there, even though I knew they would do so without me telling them to do it. Of course, I fell asleep, when I woke up I figured might as well go out to find them. I reached for the door and tried the handle. It didn’t budge, they had child-locked me in. Ah…… right? Well just go through the front doors. Sadly I did not think of that. Imagine me, now me scrambling around trying to find a way out of my deathly prison. Anyways, to say the least, I freaked out, the only thing that was going through my head was. “What if they never come back? What if I die in here?” I was-am a dramatic child. This actually happened the last year or so. I don’t know why my parents decided to put child-lock on me, but they did. It was terrifying. By the time my parent finally came back, I had my face smashed up against the window, trying to get some fresh, cool air. It is the family joke, me being stupid and not realizing that I could get out of the car. Now I guess I’m scared of my parents leaving me somewhere, but everyone has fears right? I mean there is Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia fear of long words. How do you even say that? Pediophobia is the fear of dolls, that's a fairly common one I think I have that. The doll’s eye watching your every move. Do you think that Cinderella had Novercaphobia, fear of stepmothers? It would be horrible to have Philophobia, not being able to love someone? Just think of all those days eating “Ben and Jerry's”. Imagine, really just imagine.
