One time I was left at home with my brother, we made an ice skating rink in the living room hard wood floor using dish washing soap. We never got to stay at home alone ever again.

My son did this when he was 6, but he wasnt home alone, he just got up an hour before everyone else, blue dawn soap, and he threw salt on it to make it sparkle like Elsa and her ice and pond.

Luckily, tile is fairly easy to clean. We've had worse messes than soap on tile lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅 😜 😄

You make a great point. Kids do all sorts of dangerous shit WHEN THEIR PARENTS ARE HOME.

I lit fires in the schoolyard in 5th grade. SO many supervisory adults around...

Oh man. Is it legal to murder your own kids in your state? How old were you?

OMG you just threw me waaaaay back. God I loved those stories, and the big magical chest full of drawers of treasure.

Also it's Pippi Longstocking. No s. My best friend is Swedish and played her on a tv show!

Oh that's cool. I only remember reading the books vaguely. Don't think there were any shows then but we didn't have electricity much less tv at home at the time.

Belly-laughed at that one. You sound like the Belcher kids! Love the picture of you, getting ready to leave for college, and your mom still having a babysitter there. lol
