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.

I'm still in trouble for this one after 20 years!when I was 5/6 we all went to the pub round the corner, as was usual, this time however I was restless and wanted to go home, after nagging him for half an hour my Dad took me home, plonked me infront of the tele and left me alone after warning me to be a good boy and they'll see me in half an hour.
When they got home they found all the curtains in the house drawn, all the lights on, the TV on, the radio on, basically anything with an on switch on!
apparently after a good hours searching my Dad decided to go house to house to see if I'd gone round a neighbours, after another 30 minutes my Dad finally found me watching tele in a friends house, the next street but one.
he came in and asked me what I was doing here and I said infront of their whole family, "well dad, what was I supposed to do after you left me home alone and went to the pub"!
he still has a dig at me even after all these years!
sorry Dad, didn't know I was so shrewed!
