Child's Suitcase. Material: paper, metal, plastic. Size: 9" x 12" x 5". Description: red, white and blue patterned plaid paper over heavy cardboard case; gold colored hinges on back and clasp on front hold lid in place; blue plastic handle under clasp. Donor notes that she and her sisters used the case mostly for doll clothes, but one time when Margie was upset with her mom, she began packing the suitcase in order to run away from home; her mother wisely decided to help her pack. When her mom asked her where she was going to go, Margie tearfully replied that since she wasn't allowed to cross the street, she didn't know where she could go! The episode ended happily when her mom told her that she and her dad really wanted Margie to stay at home with them and her sisters. The suitcase was unpacked and hugs made the whole situation better.
