Starting Tuesday night I'll be staying at our friend's house with her 13-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son while she travels to Portland to take her oral psychiatry boards. I just hope the house doesn't burn down on my watch!

1. If they at some point become very polite and agreeable...? |
|
That's when you should become very, very alert. :D

3. I would strongly recommend bringing some alcohol |
|
for you, of course. Just be sure to keep it hidden from the kids. Good luck! You may enjoy it more than you think you will.

4. find out what their obsessions are and provide plenty |
|
I'm thinking like computer games, books, sappy movies.
No porn or controlled substances.

5. Make sure they each have access to an Ipod, a cell phone, |
|
and a computer. You'll have peace and quiet the entire time.
