I've, very briefly, had this happen to me once. I was driving down the road and did a double take on some teen boy walking on the sidewalk. My kids were in the car and they all whipped around too. <br />Kids:"What?! Who was it?!"<br />Me: "Sky! From my book!" Craning my neck and checking my mirrors for a better look. Two kids were very intrigued, one, I'm certain, was questioning my sanity. Lol! Sadly he was not to be found when I turned around to creepily stalk him.
