Great prank idea. Parents in second floor room, hear kids come in. Bang bed against wall several times, sound effects. Dad takes fire emergency rope ladder, climbs out window, comes in front door, and says, “Hi. Where’s your mother?”

This is true…to this day, (over 10 years later) I still have a very uneasy feeling about eating dinner at ANYONE’S dining room table! ☹

FWIW, I have vowed to NEVER own a house without an eat-in kitchen SEPERATE from the dining room!🙂

I know, for a fact, that my parents have never, ever, ever, done that nasty stuff. Me and my three older brothers were left on the front porch by the stork. My mother swears that ths is so, and that’s good enough for me.

\<Plnnr pokes his mind’s eye out with a sharp pointy stick, thinking of Robert and Shirley getting it on. Shudder.\>

I know they do it - but I only heared them once and went away on tiptoes so they wouldnt notice I was already awake…

I do wonder about nights at my boyfriends house now however…  
thin English walls… little sister in the next room… parents not far away either. Argh.
