when I was around 7 yrs old I had to take piano lesons from lady across street......I did not want to......went few times , but one day told my Mom I wasn't going. there were wooded areas where we lived and I took off running thru woods and Mom in pursuit, she gave up the chase but I got it when I got home.
In those days parents did not spare the rod so to speak.
She laughs about it today but she was furious at the time.
