A mother was sitting in the living room with her two boys and the youngest daughter. The oldest boy asked his mother, “What would you do if we ran away from home?” The mother replied that she would come after them and find them. “But what if we turned into other things so you couldn”t recognize us?” he asked. The mother answered that she would always be able to find them. All the children laughed because that couldn”t be true. The middle child asked, “What if I turned into a car and drove away from you?” The mother said she would turn into a motorcycle, and she would catch up to him. “Well, what if I turned into anairplane and flew away from you?” asked the little girl. The mother answered that she would turn into an airplane too and fly after her and force her to land. “OK, but what if I became a boat and sailed away from you out into the ocean?” asked the oldest boy. The mother told him that she would turn into the wind and blow the boat wherever she wanted. The children were quiet for a little while, trying to think of a way they could win. Finally, the oldest boy said, “It’s no use running away. You”ll just catch us anyway.” “Besides, we like it here too much to leave,” the middle child said. “Yeah!” said the little girl. The mother hugged them, and they all went into the kitchen to eat lunch.
