> How many times did a stranger talk to you as a child? More than none? Were you kidnapped?

Just to share anecdotes, I had a few memorable experiences as a kid (and probably many more that I don't remember).

A very nice person helped fix my bike chain when it slipped off the gears and got wedged against the frame. Without them, I'd have a long walk home with a stuck back wheel.

On another occasion, while I was playing outside my house, a man came by and invited me to attend his church. My parents weren't keen on that, and I was rather uninterested so we never took him up on the offer. I presume he was a Jehova's Witness or a Mormon.
