No shoes. I actually made it 3 miles.<br />My mother didn't have a car so she had to call the pastor of our church to come pick me up in his old VW bus. <br />I still got a spanking. :D<br />Thanks for the post. Wonderful.

(I have two half-sisters now that are 15 and 17, but I didn't grow up with them, obviously)<br /><br />Your story reminds me of the time I threatened to run away, made it as far as the front porch, saw the dark, scary world in front of me, and very quickly huffed back into my bedroom, lol.BlondeBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05914759722134808069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29569768.post-57809030211864414542006-11-29T21:00:00.000-08:002006-11-29T21:00:00.000-08:00Okay, make me cry why don't you!!??
