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.

Not me but a mateHe was about three or four at the time and he used to like going everywhere on one of those old plastic cars with the pedals (surely you must remember them)
One particular day he and his mum had been shopping at the local sainsburys supermarket which was about a mile and a half away, and due to his bad behaviour he had been told he wasn't allowed any sweets. When they got home he was let out to play in the front garden (20 odd years ago this was considered a safe practice)...Incensed at the lack of treats he thought he would go back and get some himself so he hopped on his little plastic car thing and set off.
It was about 20 minutes before his mum realised he wasn't playing out the front and she called the police after knocking on a few neighbours doors. About an hour or so later the rozzers found the little speed demon peddling his little car along the pavement quite happily, oblivious to the trouble he caused......He was only a few hundred yards away from the supermarket.
He never did get them sweets!!
