Having an argument with your parents is absolutely inevitable. As adults, we’ve grown to learn how to communicate through these (well, hopefully). As children, however, pent up frustration due to the inability to speak back or communicate through tension often leads youngsters to do the most bizarre things.
I clearly remember having an argument with (more like getting schooled by) by mom when I was around nine-years-old, writes Cape {town} Etc’s Robyn Simpson. In hindsight, I was more than likely being my finest middle-child-self. Anyway, OCD coupled with a personality more stubborn than a mule led me to one of my famous dramatic moves as a child.
I stuffed a backpack with clothes and snacks and decided that I was running away from home. A young girl on a mission to be a badass, independent girl-woman. I had my sights set on the local park which had an epic jungle gym. My new, parent-free home was just a short walk away.
Home sweet home. I made myself comfortable, had a snack, and fantasised about my mom panicking dilly about her lost daughter. Oh, how she would regret telling me off.
Long story short, evening fell and I forgot that I was terrified of the dark. I ran, Usain Bolt ran, home only to discover that no one noticed I was gone in the first place.
Moral of the story: kids do the weirdest things when getting schooled by their folks.
Andres Canto from Spain, however, takes the cake after releasing a video showcasing the underground home he dug for himself over a six-year period. According to Canto, his teenage self resorted to ‘anger digging’ to get away from his parents after arguments.
As per Spain News, he began to dig a hole in his back garden when he was fourteen after a minor argument with his parents. He wanted to wear a tracksuit to go to a local village and his parents weren’t on board with the look.
Canto, who is now an actor, told the news agency that he used this underground cave project to unwind after a stressful day at school or to escape after being told off. He would come home and get stuck in, digging with his hands.
The naughty-kid-cave is quite impressive, sporting stairs and rooms. You have to check it out.
