todays report.

. 

after a minor boundary tug-of-war, mom issued a proclamation: i'm being firm on the "no."

"then i'm walking to grandma and grandpa's!" said the spoltchy-faced boy.

the case report reads as follows...

at the west corner of town two pedestrians stopped the boy to inquire about his situation. when asked why he was not wearing shoes the boy claimed that none of his shoes fit anymore and his mom was at the store buying him some. when asked why he was crying the boy reportedly responded, "i'm not crying, it's just that there is a giant fly nest from all of the garbage in my front yard so every time i walk outside flies attack my face."

the pedestrians decided to follow the suspicious boy, eventually calling the police for support.

several concerned citizens stopped their cars to ask the boy if he needed help, to which he responded by hiding in the bushes.

when the police finally caught up to him they inquired into his personal information and ultimately made a phone call to his mother. the mother, when asked, claimed that the boy had run away from home following a domestic dispute about unfinished chores and lost media time. it cannot be confirmed but the officer thinks he may have heard laughter as the mother ended the call.

the boy was released to complete his trek of shame to his grandparents' home. 

it is rumored he was driven home shortly thereafter by his grandfather where he waded through mountains of garbage and nearly lost his eyes in a fly frenzy.
