I am married with three children, so privacy is sometimes hard to come by in my house. The basement is my usual domain once the younger kids are asleep. Two days ago, I came home from work early and I thought I had the house to myself. So I went to the basement, pulled up some p*** on the old laptop, and went to town. It was nice to be able to listen to it with the volume up for a change, since usually there are other people in the house and I have to keep it quiet.
Once I was done, I cleaned up, and went to the babysitter’s house to get the kids. When I got there, only the two younger kids were there.
It turns out that my oldest had the day off of school and was home. (She’s 14). It also turns out she was in the basement too. She hasn’t said anything to me about it, other than me asking her when I got back that day, where she was, and she told me she had been in the basement, “asleep” on the couch down there. So now it’s kind of awkward…
