Awesome title.
I’ve heard stories of my mother making the same decision at that age: Grandma helped her pack, then mom walked up and down the block with a very heavy suitcase for half an hour. Then she came home. Hard to run away when you can’t cross the street…

Oh, this isn’t the first time he’s threatened to move out. It’s just the first time he’s made it out the door. It’s probably a good thing he was out of his little mind with anger or he would have realized that he has his own damn suitcase right out in the garage! It even has wheels!

At least she made her own sandwich. I’m pretty sure my ballsy little boy (The Oldest) will expect me to pack him a lunch the next time he goes.

First, awesome title. Second, you are an inspiration. How on earth did you keep from laughing in his face when he asked for help with his blanket? I laughed reading this and I couldn’t help but imagine how hard it would be if presented with the same situation. I hope my daughter makes it to 7 before grabbing some food for the road…

Hahaha! I remember when my oldest told me she was going to run away. She made herself a peanut butter and honey sandwich, grabbed a fruit rollup and her barbie suitcase, and marched right out the door. She was back 5 minutes later saying that she had forgotten something. After several quiet minutes, I found her fast asleep in her bed upstairs. Guess she forgot her nap…
