Saturday night two of our guys Adonis and Fernando decided they were going to escape and find a better world. They packed up their clothes and were going to try to make their way to the city.
Fortunately, they have no street smarts and we have good, caring neighbors who called us to inform us of their whereabouts. They hadn't gotten very far. They did not know that buses didn't run at night at the time they left.
Their plan was to find money on the ground, leave for the city, and become RICH. What a plan! I doubt they would have become too rich on their 2nd and 4th grade educations.
Oh the stories they told after Dorian brought them home from their little escapade. Adonis said they found tons of money in a hole. Somehow they lost the money after Dorian picked them up. Also, they killed a member of a gang by throwing a frisbee at his head. The frisbee was clean because they washed it in a puddle of water.
Upon their return, Fernando was moved back into the big house. His behavior had deteriorated immensely in the past month since moving to Mirian's house. Adonis' behavior had been improving over the month. They both admitted that the great escape was all Fernando's great idea. Fernando had to sleep in the floor for a couple nights and Adonis had most of his clothes taken from him.
This wasn't the first time someone has run away, and it surely will not be the last. It always causes a bit of panic in the house and always a little laughter of what the kids think they can live on. Praise God these two are safe.
