I'm Running Away!!!!!

Today it finially happened. Emma refused to pick up the fruit snacks that her and Nate threw all over the living room, so I sent her to her room. I didn't even raise my voice. A few min. later she came out and walked to the front door holding a giant pencil with a pink striped tiger wrapped around it with a velvet scarf so it created a ball on the end of the pencil. she had boots on but no coat. I asked her what she was doing and she replied "I'm running away!" I told her she should get a coat on because it's snowing. And then I questioned her about food. She said she didn't have any, I pointed out that food costs money did she have any money? "no canI borrow some of yours?" she replied. I tried really hard not to laugh out loud. I picked her up and carried her to her room to talk about why she was leaving and where she would go. she said I was mean, because I wouldn't let her help, and she wanted to go to the desert. I then told her the desert was far away, so she asked me if I could drive her there. I told her no. So she settled for her friends house. I still said no she couldn't go live with Rebecca. She burst into tears earlier in the conversation but had calmed down when we talked about this. She has decided that she doesn't want to leave anymore.She felt warm so I took her temp. she's getting a fever it's a low grade hasn't even hit 101 yet but that might explain the sudden feelings of wanting to run away? I hope so.
