» Running away

a slipper thing
When i was eight years old, i remember my mum and brother arguing with me over something i hadn't done, it became clear to me then i was on a lost cause, not only had the whole world turned against me, but clearly my brother was mummy's favourite and she didn't love me anymore. I decided to run upstairs, get a few clothes together, emptied my piggybank and ran downstairs shouting, "I'm running away, and never coming back!!!" to which my mum and brother shouted, "Good!" I walked down the garden path carefully planing my journey. It was about half an hour into the escape that it started pouring with rain. It was then the realisation hit me as the purple slippers i was wearing, were soaking up the puddles in the street. Embarassment took a hold, as i quickly walked back home...............
