quickly swims back to the edge of the pool W-well, it's just that... I-I was playing around and didn't want to get caught.
Ok.. Are you staying here?
N-no, I gotta go find something outside. I heard there are some cool bugs near the garden.

I then went back to the house, not thinking much of it

crying M-mommy, I'm scared... I don't know what happened!
I then took him back inside, while I went back outside to look for his sister
sniffles M-mommy, what if I-I get lost again?

clings tightly to Informationity M-mommy, let's never go to the park alone again. I-I was so scared...
I then sighed, then hugged him, while scolding him Tommy, you know that you can't just leave without telling anyone, right?
nods I know, Mommy. I'm sorry... I just wanted to find those bugs.
Next time, tell me first, alright?
whispers M-mommy, I promise I'll never go somewhere alone again without telling you first.
Alright, just remember that I worry about you.
I-I know, Mommy. I'm sorry for making you worry. I'll always tell you where I'm going from now on.
Ok, now lets go get some ice cream, alright?
