Bob's drums were standing in the corner near the TV. “Wait, maybe there is something I can do，” thought Bob. He beat on his drums as hard as he could. The sound was so terrible that Bob surprised even himself. He also surprised the man in the window, who ran away as fast as possible.

Four years ago when I was a boy of 11, I got into the biggest trouble as a kid. It was a Saturday morning. Both my parents were out, leaving me and my 10?month?old sister home alone. Anyway，my sister was still asleep in her room. In fact I had the house to myself. I decided to do some drawing. Soon I gave up. Nothing was on TV, so I felt bored and touched the candles on the shelf…I had an idea! What would happen if I set fire to some kitchen paper? Well, of course it went on fire, but it wasn't the tiny flame(火苗) I'd expected, and I couldn't blow it out. I threw it on the floor, and then I got my dad's boots(靴子) and stamped it out(踩灭)．

But there was a huge hole left on the floor. When my mum came home later, she smelt the smoke immediately. She dropped the shopping bag, luckily for me, over the hole. I thought this meant she would never see it. However, after running round the house checking for a fire, she of course picked up the bag and saw the hole. Next I was grounded(关禁闭) for months. Even worse though, the hole was still there, reminding me of what I did.

Jessi remembers that when she and Joey first started staying at home alone, they weren't allowed to open the door for anyone or invite any friends to their home. Now Jessi's allowed to invite over any friend that her mum knows well.

Every family has different home alone rules. Here are some common rules:

“Closed door” policy (原则)

Don't open the door for anyone except a brother, sister or parent.

Keep all doors locked, at all times.

Checking in

When you get home, call your parents to let them know that everything's OK.

Phone calls

Only pick up the phone if it's a parent, relative, or friend who your parents know.

If you answer the phone and the person asks for a parent, just say that he or she is busy and can't come to the phone. Never tell a stranger on the phone that you're home alone!

Snacks

If you feel nervous about using appliances like the oven, you may have some snacks instead of (代替) cooking food yourself.

Most children have a rule that no friends are allowed in the house when they're home alone. This may be no fun but in the end, is safe for everyone.

Staying inside

Your parents may want you to stay at home and not to go anywhere—not even a friend's house, park, or store.
