Running awayTwo friends ran away from boarding school. They didn't get too far though - they forgot to check when the last train ran. A teacher found them sitting waiting and drove them back again.
That said, it's not just a thing kids do - the urge to just run is built into all of us. Tell us about the times you've given in and run.

My mother ran awayShe ran a few times. Once it was because we all said her cooking was inedible (it was). She stormed off and didn't come back for a week, during which time we all did our own cooking and cleaning. Nobody brought up the awkward subject of being motherless. When she came back, she seemed incensed that we'd just got on with it without her and not crumbled into destitution and cannibalism.
A few years ago she did it again. She was gone for a few days and came back to my dad saying, "Been for a walk, dear?"
I'm never having kids.
