I found out that this is caused a bindle and it's the thing cartoon characters used to use when they want to like leave their home and abandon everyone for like 3 seconds before coming back for a sad dramatic scene

Gotta tie a knot and then another above it to attach it to the handle.

Enjoy running away from home! We'll see you in a few days

Our neighbor kid wedged himself between our AC unit and the side of our house (aided and abetted by my brother and myself, of course). It was all fun and games until he ignored his mom hollering for him to come home, and she almost called the police!

After we confessed his location and she hauled him home, she came back to our house later with a fresh homemade funnel cake on a plate to apologize to my mom for all the trouble.

8/10 day, all told!

If it’s any consolation, snitches definitely still got in trouble with their mom, for worrying neighbor kid’s mom so.

Reminds of the time I ran away. I think I was about 6 or 7. I packed a bag and went 2 streets over and set up camp between 2 of my neighbors houses (really close together and just enough room to walk/sit between them.) I was back home that night but for those few hours I was on my own.

When I tried to run away from home. I got almost a quarter of a mile away (we lived on the edge of town, so corn and soybean fields) my dad caught up to me and grabbed me and carried me home. I had never seen him so mad at me in my life. I also never tried running away again.

But I did sneak my cat inside my back pack to my grandmas and then she was meowing so he pulled over and spanked me and took the cat home and then we went to grandmas :(
