This fuck up was approximately two weeks ago. I was in Philadelphia visiting colleges with, my mom and my sister, as I was a high school senior. After the long winded presentation/tour at Drexel and Temple really made me and my family hungry. We went to eat.

Finally, we decided that it is time to head back to the big train station in Philly and board a train back home. My bladder, however, was about to explode. I excuse myself to go use the bathroom. I ask an employee where the nearest restroom is and he directs me to it. On my approach, I see a kid, around 9 or 10, with a Phillies hat run past me with a panicked look on his face. I think practically nothing of it and go to use the bathroom. My urination went normally but as I walk out, I see a lady run toward me. She asks in a hurried breath if I had seen her son. She goes on to describe him to be exactly the kid I had seen. For no reason whatsoever I said calmly "no" and treated her like she was bothering me. Right after as she thanked me and sprinted away, I knew I fucked up. I tried to run after her but I had lost her in the crowded train station. I returned to my mom and sister and was empty for the rest of the day.

In hindsight, I don't think me mentioning that I had seen the kid a couple of minutes before would have practically helped the mother find him, but I still can't stand that I said no. I can only hope that they found each other but I have no way of checking. My answer haunts me to this day and sometimes I cannot get it out of my head.
