Surfing the Inner N8

Recently I wrote about the Top 10 Ways to Escape from Little Kids Trying to Throw You in the Train Jail.  Today I developed a new tactic that proved highly effective:

I had two captors dragging me off to the train jail, a little boy and a little girl.  When we were almost to the train jail, we came to a plastic picnic table which stood between us and the slammer.  So I pointed to one side and said, “Hey, I’ve got an idea!  How ’bout you go that way, (pointing to the other side now) and I go this way?”

“Okay!” they shouted in agreement.  As soon as they went “that way,” I went “this way”–very far this way.  Another successful escape.
