Prost !

Tues 8/24

There was a letter in the advice column in the paper today about whether or not to leave a thirteen year old boy alone in the house while the family goes on vacation.  Even if he’s a great kid - it’s highly unlikely that every other new teen in town is, too.  

My parents and siblings went away when I was sixteen and I invited a few friends over one night.  One of them said something to someone about me having a party and before I knew it, there were about thirty kids in my house and squid in the freezer somehow found its way to behind the washing machine in the basement and my sleuth-y friend got back my father’s German beer stein from some thief. To this day, he doesn’t recall how he rescued it. Who is he protecting?
