No true. There was a story of a little boy who packed his bag and headed off down the street determined to leave home. His mum watched him as he went to the first corner, hesitated and then started walking back. She felt a great sense of relief until as he passed going back into the house muttered, “I forgot my passport.”
Lovely 🙂
