There was a news story in the papers about a year ago. It was about a 5-year-old Texas boy who was accidentally left behind at a Nashville, Tennessee, service station. Tyler Payne got out of the family station wagon to use the rest room, then couldn't get out of the building because the door had become stuck. His family continued their trip not realizing the boy was missing. About two hours later, at a Wendy's restaurant in Jackson, his parents, five brothers and a sister noticed he was missing. They drove back to the station as fast as they could

Back in Nashville, a woman had heard Tyler screaming and opened the bathroom door for him. The boys sobs sobs turned to smiles when Tyler saw his family. He showed his brothers and sister the teddy bears, coloring books and candy given him by detectives in Nashville's Metro Youth Guidance Center while he waited for his parents.

"I told you your parents would come back," said Mary Brown, who was working at the service station and who comforted Tyler after he was found in the rest room. "We normally have a head count, but this time we didn't," Glenn Payne said. "We were tired." After leaving the service station, Kris Payne drove while her husband and the children dozed.

When the family was finally reunited, the boy hugged his mother and told her, "I'm never going to the bathroom again."
