In the summer of 2000, my parents went away on vacation for
two weeks.  This had never happened before.  The freedom,
the responsibility!  Oh my, it was almost too much.  I had to
make them pay!  When my parents arrived home, this is what
they found.  Note the bottle of water in the top right, as I had it
ready for the vomit effect the instant I heard the door open.  A
book for the wait, and I was set.  I think my mother went into
shock, everyone kind of just stood there staring quietly.
