I did the exact same thing when I was three. Apparently, I had a blast doing it, too.

I ran away at three.
My uncle found me on my trycycle two miles from home,,PB&J packed for the duration.
Buicks are for old thinking people that superstitiously believe in better value for their money.
I was a Ford guy. Still am. Go figure!

I know of a little boy, in fact he's related to me, who as tiny tot was in the front seat "helping" daddy fix the car.

Put the car in gear and pinned Da-Da between the grill of 1975 avocado green cutless and the garage wall.

Hey Emperor,
Do you also post comments at salon?
There's someone who calls himself "emperor" there also.

AmVet- Nope, not me. Does it sound like me, too? That is also possible as a fellow Discordian might choose his moniker and words similiarly, because...
