Also, when you're in junior high, and you sneak out to go to the store, in a town that has a curfew, and you're going through a bank parking lot and you see headlights coming at you (and you don't know that it's a cop, checking on what you're doing at the bank in the middle of the night) and you run and hide in the bushes, don't stay hidden and refuse to some out until the cops have to call out the searchlights and helicopters to find you.
