As a 7 year old, out shopping with my parents, my two elder brothers told me about this place they called children's world. they told me that it was a place where they punished children like myself , locking them in for life where they could be kept away from everybody, especially other children. As you will have guessed,but as i didn't realise at the time and could only see the place from outside, children's world was actually a kids' entertainment store and there were giant
slides on display that could be used.my brothers said this was a trick so that i could be locked in as soon as i got in, and that like it or not, mum was going in there to look next and i had to go in with her, and i wasn't coming out.
