Looking at this little girl dragging her stuffed lion along with her, it reminds me of a time I ran away, or tried to, when I was little. Something about her head hanging down and her little hand clutching her favorite stuffed animal makes me think she is a bit upset about something.
I don't remember why but I tried to run away one day when something my mother said or did made me quite unhappy. I lost my little temper and grabbed hold of the most important thing in the world tome - my stuffed dog name Troubles.
I wouldn't, no I just couldn't go anywhere without my buddy, my pal, my friend. He was my constant companion. I made it about a block or so away from the house before my mom came up beside me and told me to go home.
I had no idea where I was trying to go. I just know I wanted to be somewhere else.
Did you every run away when you were little? How far did you get?

I ran away with my brother because my mother gave our younger brother more soda! lol We were planning on living in the woods behind our house until my uncle found us. My father was away on business, so my mother had him look for us. It was dark and we were gone for about an hour. My poor mother!

I never ran away, or even thought of it.
But if I had, i would have taken a stuffie friend too.
