Sometimes as a child you get into situations...
Sometimes as a child you get into situations that you don't like and all you want is your parents. Maybe you are fighting with someone at school or daycare and all you want is mom or dad to swoop in with great wrath and ire and smite your enemies. Or, at least reprimand them a little bit. You want someone with authority, someone you trust, to come in and take care of the situation. And okay, some of it is your own fault. You know that you'll probably end up in time out or in your room when you get home, or you know you will have to do extra chores as punishment... but you don't care.
