When I was about five or six, I used to walk around the neighborhood with my mother a lot. I was always worried that some policeman might come and arrest her, because he thought that she had kidnapped me. After thinking this scary thought, I was always sure to walk around with a big smile plastered on my face to let the police know that I had not been kidnapped, but had come willingly.
