I did, once. It was pretty funny looking back on the incident.
I was angry with my Mother, she seemed to be favoring my sister and I had enough. (rotten child syndrome!) I went in my room, packed my important things – piggy bank, monopoly game (it was my sister’s favorite), my pillow and a change of underwear. I guess I was scared and thought I might wet my pants! :)
I announced that I was leaving and no one should try to find me. I walked out, went down the road to the park. After crying for a little while, I went back home and tried to get inside. Mom had locked the doors. I tried to crawl through the doggy door, yep, she blocked that, too.
I had to apologize for being rotten and return the game to my sister and I’m still paying for this….it comes up just about every year in some big family dinner. I laugh at it, now. It took a few years, though.
My daughter tried the same, because in my house, I have rules, in her dad’s house, no rules. She was 6, and said she was leaving. I got her a suitcase out, but told her she could only pack the stuff that I had not paid for. She put one pack of stickers in the suitcase and started to walk out. She made it to the kitchen and turned around and gave me a hug.
