* In the early books of ''Literature/TheRiftwarSaga'', Arutha tries ''very'' hard to do this to his young friend Jimmy the Hand. The best boy thief in Krondor has other ideas.

TheHero and his FiveManBand are gearing up for the FinalBattle, heading for the airport for the latest trip to a TempleOfDoom, or taking the ransom money to meet the kidnappers. The TagalongKid, AnnoyingYoungerSibling, or the KidAppealCharacter prepares to go likewise. TheHero tells him or her in no uncertain terms that there is no way they are going to be allowed to go along.

->'''Darkwing:''' Reality check! ''We'' are the crime fighters -- ''you'' are the obedient daughter who stays put and out of trouble.

TemptingFate! Anybody [[ForbiddenFruit unequivocally ordered to stay behind never does]]. Lock them in their room? They escape with a BedsheetLadder. Leave someone to supervise them? Five seconds later, they're a BoundAndGagged BadlyBatteredBabysitter. Keep every tarp, trunk, suitcase, or any area of empty space constantly visible to your eye 24/7, or it ''will'' be used as a hiding place -- often with the intention of [[LittleStowaway the stowaways]] showing themselves once there's simply no way they can be safely sent back.

The TropeNamer is Basil in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective'' to Olivia, which accomplishes the trope with a GilliganCut. Compare WaitHere, JustAKid and StayInTheKitchen, where someone is ordered to stay out of the conflict because of her gender rather than age.

* This is Jade's MO in ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures''. No matter how many times Jackie tells her not to come, she will use OffscreenTeleportation and appear next to him the minute he leaves. Later when this is pointed out to him, Jackie states he feels like he should still say it.

* In ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing'', Meriadoc (Merry) is told by Theoden that he'll have to stay behind at the camp rather than participate in the battle at Minas Tirith, despite his protests. He ends up riding to the battle with Eowyn, who herself was forbidden to ride into the battle and does so by wearing a helmet with a face mask.

-->'''Webby:''' Please, [[LampshadeHanging no lectures about how dangerous this is]]. I'm coming with you, and that's final.
-->'''Scrooge:''' Aye, I insist you come with me, Webbigail. [[ReversePsychology I could'na possibly trust you to stay here]].
-->'''Webby:''' Huh? Why not?
-->'''Scrooge:''' Because keeping an eye on [[TakenForGranite poor Huey, Dewey, and Louie]] is the most important job in the world. Now, who could I trust to do that?
-->'''Webby:''' Oh, I can do it!
-->'''Scrooge:''' Oh, I don't think so.
-->'''Webby:''' Oh, yes! Don't worry, [[HonoraryUncle Uncle Scrooge]]! You can count on me!
-->'''Scrooge:''' I'm sure I can.

* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}'', where Carl accidentally takes Russel along with him (Carl never had to tell Russel to stay behind and it's likely that Russel didn't intend to go on a trip) and realizes there's no way to get Russel home. Although Carl contemplates using the BedsheetLadder to lower him to the ground, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments he concludes that isn't gonna work]].

* The two-part Creator/DCComics {{Elseworld}} ''The Super Seven'' in ''The Adventures of Comicbook/{{Superman}}'' Annual #6 and ''Comicbook/{{Superboy}}'' Annual #1 is a MagnificentSevenSamauri story set many years after a successful alien invasion, when Superman is PuttingTheBandBackTogether long after Earth turned its back on the heroes. One of the heroes who finds him is Kon-El, still a rookie hero in this universe, but the others all agree that he's too cocky and reckless and Comicbook/GreenLantern literally hurls him away. Given whose title the second part appears in, you can imagine how long that lasts.
