Mom Forgets to Pick Up Snow Monkey at the Mall

Mom Forgets to Pick Up Snow Monkey at the Mall

When Penny dropped her son Travis off at the mall early Wednesday, they agreed to meet by the movie theater at 4:30 pm for a timely pickup. Travis arrived five minutes early. His mom was nowhere to be found.

“I offered to call his parents,” says mall security guard Tom Wakeman. “But, we couldn’t reach her, probably because snow monkeys don’t have cell phones. What was I thinking?”

She arrived closer to 7:00 pm. Travis wasn’t pleased, but at the end of the day, he arrived home safe and sound.
