Busted!

My teenager must have forgotten that I am an insomniac! Bad for her, good for me. On Friday night I let too many four of her friends sleep over. Her bedroom is directly above mine, so I could hear they were still up pretty late. I got up to sit on the screened porch at about 1am. We have another screened porch directly above the bottom floor porch. So I am just chillin’ when I hear the top door squeak open, some hushed voices and little foot steps. Now why in the hell are five 13 years olds coming out on the porch at one 1am for? The same porch that has stairs that lead to the back yard? Hmmmm…I’m pretty sure you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure this out. So we had a little text message converstation that went like this:

Me: What r u doing

(there was a long pause here as they all scampered back into the house)

Tal: nothing we r board so we were walking around and we were wondering if you were awake thats all

Me: Hello?

Tal: I already sent u something

Me: and u thought sneaking out the back door was a good plan?

Tal: i said i have a back porch so we were going to go sit out there and talk

Me: u forgot i was an insomniac?

Tal: no i thought u were asleep

Me: is ur heart racing?

Tal: no not really

Me: it should b

Me: get down here NOW!!

Tal: k

I KNOW her heart was racing. I got caught doing stupid stuff when I was her age. She is the same as I was…I also thought my parents were clueless. My mom wasn’t an insomniac, but she was a light sleeper. You gotta keep these things in mind when you are trying to be devious. Duh!
