The first in the series of runaway stories...Paige Toon shares hers .....
When I was about six years old, my parents took my brother
and I to Mexico for a holiday. I don’t remember much about the country, but I
do remember the brightly coloured straw sombrero they bought me at a market,
along with a little yellow guitar. One evening, we were all in our hotel room
and, I can’t recall the reason why, but I was very put-out about something. My mum,
dad and brother didn’t take me seriously at all. They laughed at me, which made
me even more cross, so I decided to teach them all a lesson and run away. I
knew I wouldn’t go far – I was thinking just out into the corridor and behind
the Coke machine would do. I’d pop out again when I knew they were truly sorry
for cruelly mocking me. So I told them I was off, and, not forgetting to pick
up my little yellow guitar and don my sombrero, I stormed to the door and
pushed down the handle. But the door was locked – I pulled and pulled, but it
wouldn’t budge – and this made my family completely
fall about with hilarity at the situation. The truth was, I was a bit scared
about running away, so it didn’t take me more than a few moments to see the
funny side. I’ve never thought about running away again since.
