Sometimes unplanned things give you the best memories.

I don't have one of getting lost, although I used to go walking for hours without telling my parents where I was going but I used to be annoyed because when I came home, they wouldn't even notice that i was gone the whole time.

Okay, I do have a memory of my parents waiting for me and being really angry when I came home after dark. My sister and I were coming home from school on the city bus and we had an argument. She's two years older than me and used to....actually, still does...like bossing me around. I tyold her she wasn't my mother and I wasn't goi9ng to listen to her anymore so I ran away from her. I didn't run far though. I hid in our garage and waited until dark to come into the house. My parents were waiting for me, furious and sent me to bed without supper. I was mad because I figured it was all my sister's fault for being really bossy.......Funny thing is, my bnrother took off on me one day the same way....after an argument on the way home from school because I was being bossy this time (he's four years younger than me). He hid in the public library and came home hours later (he was only five years old and had to travel two city buses to get home). Somehow, Mom and Dad weren't mad at him like they'd been with me and he never got sent to bed without supper....go figure.

It is so complicated, ya'll, and it doesn't even have to be.

I get lost just about every place I go. I'm completely directionally challenged. Thank God for GPS!

I used to do things like that all the time. Maybe it was the ADD, but I would "forget" to tell my parents I was going to a friend's house after school, and this was back when I was only 7 or 8 years old, so my parents would FREAK, cruising the neighborhood looking for me.

I also had 3 concussions before the age of about 7 and found my mom's best friend's son dead (suicide) when I was about 9.

I'm really surprised my parents didn't both have nervous breakdowns raising me.

Teenage years were even more "interesting", but that's another thread.

Got modded. I forgot you can't say "voluntary cessation of life" in one word.

Great story TW!

When I was 13, my parents decided to build a new home as we were renting at the time. We were living in the Southern Highlands of NSW, which is about two hours driving time south of Sydney.

Well, based at Chipping Norton/Liverpool (south-western suburb of Sydney) is Homeworld. It is an entire complex of houses. We were dragged there every Saturday for what felt like forever. It was so boring and we weren't even allowed to buy an ice-cream from the ice-cream man. Stinking heat, no ice-cream, boring house looking.

And like TW, I still remember it as if it happened yesterday ... most probably for entirely different reasons!

And now that I am older and all grown up (apparently), I love surfing the Homeworld site and checking out all the new designs!
