A story my mom loves to tell:
When I was a kid in the late 60's/Early 70's, the clothing racks were perfect forts to play in/out of. Whenever we'd go to the store, the first thing you did was jump into the middle of those circular things.
One day when this was going on, I think I was about 4 and probably at a Target or K-Mart, my mother got annoyed trying to find me. She went to the service desk and asked to use the overhead speakers system. They said that they needed to do it but asked the vital information and where to say to go. The man says through the system "James ______! James _______! Please report immediately to the Garden Department. James _______! Please report immediately to the Garden Department."
I very sheepishly showed up as the garden department and said "God told me to come here."
Hope you find him soon.
