i ran away when i was about 7....i grabbed a stick, a bandanna, a loaf of bread, and $5...i tied it all into the bandanna, and to the stick, like in the movies (seven, mind you)...then i walked out towards the country road, and hitch-hiked to the next town...where i ate half of my bread, slept for the night, ate the other half, and called mother and father...which sucked, cause father was only home, so i got the belt AND the spoon
