Running Away from Home

Robbie got really mad tonight because we wouldn't let him do something, so he decided to run away from home. I just went along with it (that's what they always do on TV shows like the Brady Bunch, right?) and suggested he might want to pack a bag. It was interesting to see what he decided to bring on his journey "to Africa" (he decided to go to Africa so he could "ride a subway").  Here's what he packed:
  • 4 bananas
  • 2 oranges
  • a bunch of construction paper
  • a box of crayons
  • 2 pairs of scissors
  • a game
  • a toy phone
  • 2 cars
  • a toy pair of pliers
Well, he took his bag and started walking down the street. I watched for a while and then decided I better follow him because it didn't look like he was going to change his mind! After a few blocks he decided to come home because it started thundering, lightning, and raining. I hope he got the whole idea out of his system!

That is such a random list of things to pack, but funny. And I think it's great that you went along with it (like they do on tv), I probably would have done the same thing.

I ran away from home once...made it to the edge of the grass in the yard...can't believe he actually went a few blocks! I can see Tage totally doing that one day and I will probably do the same thing you did. :0) Love the list!
