It was a chilly November evening when Brayden was hassling us about not getting his way about something. When he threatened to run away, Matt took a play from Uncle Joey's book and told him that would be fine, but if he was leaving the family he would have to leave the way he showed up - buck naked. Brayden, smiling a little, said OK and stepped out onto the front porch. It was dark out and the porch light was off, but we figured he would stand out there in the cold for a minute or two to make his point. After several minutes without hearing from him, we looked out the front door to find his clothes in a pile, but no sign of Brayden. It was cold out. Matt was about to go out to looking for him when he came running back chuckling. He had been hiding on the side of our house with only his underwear on.
