My mom went back to work when I was in grade 5 and it was scary for us kids back then. We had to come into an empty house every day after school. If I was the first one home, I'd check all the closets, under the beds, and even behind the shower curtain to make sure strangers weren't lurking there. Why I thought people would hide in the tub is beyond me!
