Calvin inspired me so much with this when I was five. I decided to secede from my own family. I packed a backpack and a blanket and started walking down the street, determined to never go back. Then, my mom caught up with me and took me out for hot chocolate. All was forgiven after that.
Yeah, I even think recognize the wheels from one of the kart customization options!
