Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 > I packed (suitcase full of knickers and one teddy) and went to the > front door. However, my parents did suggest that I have my tea before > I went and I agreed DH's nephew was discovered (aged 6) at the front door of his house at 3am - the alarm had gone off so he froze by the door not knowing what to do. He was dressed, hat and coat on with a suitcase and a note in his pocket that read: 1. Get daddy's money 2.Get daddy's passport 3.Go to airport 4. Go to Disneyland Bless!! He is a life long tyke - at 2 he locked his mum in a downstairs cupboard and proceeded to empty the kitchen cupboards whilst his mum managed to raise the alarm with a passer by (she had to shout her Dh's office number so that he could get home and free her!) Also after my MIL had read a story about Fireman Sam to him when he was 4 he then woke up in the night and rang 999 and asked for the fire brigade - who turned up on the doorstep! He is now 14 - and at Westminster School as a weekly boarder, to give his poor parents a break!!! Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 I think it was perfectly normal to leave home at that age then, which was why it was even more embarrassing to be hauled off home by your mum! He'd forged her signature on the admission forms, naughty boy. He joined the army eventually and went off to India, which is where FIL was born.
