Memory Monday: O Rise and Shout, That Wasn't the Way Out!

The other day I was in Wal-mart when a little boy pushed on the emergency exit door and sounded the alarm, which reminded me of this memory. I was young, so I don't remember this very clearly, but here's the gist of it...

My mom, my siblings, and I were in the BYU bookstore.  My mom was looking at a few things when my brother (like any normal male would do when stuck on a shopping trip) tried to make a getaway.  Only his escape route was through the emergency exit. Heck, maybe he thought being stuck in a store with so many females constituted an emergency.

But, man was that alarm loud!

I remember my mother being mortified and apologetic, My brother trying to hide, and all the store clerks running back and forth trying to find the key to turn the alarm off.
