As a kid, I must’ve read too many comics where a kid runs away from home with all their belongings tied in a bundle on a stick. I didn’t WANT to run away, but I somehow got the idea that it was mandatory, at least once. My dad caught me heading out the back door, sobbing, with a bundle of stuffed animals tied to a stick…
My one time running away with a friend, we planned to live at K-Mart and try on all the clothes, eat stuff from the café. The store was only a couple blocks from our houses, as if our parents wouldn’t have found us. Her dad did find us a couple hours later.

Running away, some of them make it too. Into drugs, porn, rape, criminality and a terrible life.

Ruthie looks a little startled that her mother only gave her a sweater and did not beg her to stay. :o) Giving Ruthie something to think about!

My sister told my nephew, “You can leave but the clothes I bought stay here!”
