Yesterday, I was at Walmart with my son and we were looking at toys for Bluey when all of a sudden we heard this voice over the intercom: “Code Adam!” The words that follow “Code Adam” are “Male, 5 feet tall, brown hair, brown eyes, wearing a black shirt and black pants.” I didn't really know what it meant. My mind started spinning. A missing child? A shoplifter? A crazy person with a gun? What did “Code Adam” mean? And why didn't they reassure us that everything was fine?
