My childhood was almost a little messed up. My dad worked, my mom taught us. But if she wasn't actively doing school with us, we were almost entirely unsupervised, like when she was showering, doing laundry, or chatting on Facebook.
We lived in a neighborhood that was out in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Like somebody saw an empty field and said "looks like a great place for a cul-de-sac".
One day, while she was in the shower, my older sister and I decided to go fishing(we had a river out in the woods near the... Colony you could call it, lol). I was genius, because, in my all pink outfit, I tucked my hair up into my hat to look like a boy so we couldn't be recognized. We took the fishing rod and the bait and trekked aaaaall the way back, then followed the river upstream until we reached a nice looking spot that happened to be in the backmost part of a neighbor's yard that my dad was good friends with.
Meanwhile, my mom gets out of the shower, can't find us, looks for an hour, freaks out, and calls my dad. My dad gets concerned and races home, looks around, can't find us. He's about to call the cops, but decides to check his friends house because my sister had been caring for the chickens there recently. My dad pulls up, still on the phone with Mom and he hears "dAd, hElP!!!". So he races down the hill towards the river yelling into the phone "i FoUnD tHeM tHeY'rE dRoWnInG!!". He gets to us and we look up at him from the bank "The fishing line is stuck in the branches.
".
Did anything change? Not really that I remember, or maybe we just got better at sneaking around. But it sure made for a funny story. I think I was four or five. My sister was about seven. We never got in trouble for it. Don't worry, when my little sister came around they were like a while new set of parents, lol. Figured some stuff out.
