In-Charge

Their off. Mom and Dad left for the US last night. They are scheduled to come home by the end of the month, their stay there would be short but sweet. They are planning to visit LA, Minnesota and even Las Vegas. If I was with them I would have wanted to visit Florida because many of my friends are there. I will do that if it was me traveling. Anyway, last night just before my parents left a fire broke out in a nearby school. We can clearly see the smoke and fire from the third floor of our house. Suddenly, I felt panic about being left in-charge of the house. I realized there was more to it than making sure the ref is stocked. I should also make sure the doors are properly locked at night, no lights are left on, no faucet is leaking and many little details I took for granted before because Mom was around. I especially should make sure electrical appliances are turned off and even unplugged when unused. Heaven forbid, burning the house down when Mom and Dad is away is NOT an option.
