[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6-7 years old[/quote] My mom used to leave me alone when I was 6 to pick my older sister up from school and I remember staring out the window, waiting for them to get home. She couldn't have been gone more than 20 minutes, but I was so, so scared.[/quote] My mom was a substitute teacher and sometimes had to leave before I left to walk a block and a half to school. It was decided in 1st grade I was old enough for a house key. I was so proud to keep an eye on the clock and leave at the right time, lock the door, and walk to school. Think I was home alone from 8 or 8:15 until 9am, since elementary school started at 9:15. So I was six then. [/quote]
