My son used to hide from me in shops but panicked if he happened to lose sight of me for a second. One day in particular , when he was about 3, I was so stressed and he had hidden from me again, or at least he thought he had, but I could see him so I thought I'd get my own back, just in the hope that it would scare him enough to stay with me. I hid behind some clothes and when he emerged from his hiding place he looked very worried. Just as I was about to pop out at him he cried in a loud voice "I've lost my mummy, she's fat and wearing a red coat !!" Little sod ! Even worse was when I emerged, the assistant said " This looks like mummy !!" That was over 20 years ago and we still laugh about it.
