Except that I decided we should bike to my aunt's place. From Anselme Lavigne and Lake in DDO to Huntington in Pierrefonds (near Versailles pool). At the time, it seemed like not too far (it isn't). At the time, it also seemed like a good idea. Unfortunately, I didn't really remember how to get there, once I was half-way there. Couldn't remember if I needed to turn right or left. We just kinda paused. My bro started to get cranky. Then a car pulled up. And I was like, oh crap. Act normal. They didn't offer candy, instead, they asked where I was headed and if I needed help. Which was sweet. And then, my parents were driving around and found us.<br />So anti-climactic, but hey... that's my missing child memory.
