QotD: And of course, the title has to be... Home Alone!
What happened the first time you were left home alone as a child?

What I remember most of all is the key. Mom took me to get a special keychain to wear around my neck and then took me to get the spare key made. We lived on a military base (and this was like 1989 or 1990) and my mom would wake me up in the morning, fix me breakfast and then go to work. I was responsible for walking to school and walking home by myself. I would let myself in the house like mom would do with her key and I felt super grown up.
Once I got home, it was all about Mr. Belvedere (not the vodka) and Three's Company reruns until Tiny Toons. I miss those shows!
But when mom came home, it was all about the homework. =(
