So we snuck into my sleeping sister's room, quietly opened the window, and climbed out onto the roof. Fortunately, I get on my roof quite a bit, and am quite used to the steep parts. But, Jeffro didn't have that same advantage. Despite the steep slope, Jeffro was able to overcome and make it to the highest point . . . Just in time to have our friend show up and call us down.
So, we slid back down the roof, and wandered towards the window we'd left open. Much to our surprise, it was closed.
You know that moment of terror where all rationality flees from your mind? This moment was one of those times. Neither of us had our phones, and my parents didn't know I was out there. (They don't exactly approve) Options of how to get out of the predicament began to run through my mind.
Break the window? With what? My hand? That one was out.
Jump down? And break my legs? That one was out as well.
Sit on the roof all night? And risk rolling off when I fell asleep? Nope, not gonna work.
Knock on the window? (Ahh . . . A little bit of rationality) Ya know, that just might work.
Unfortunately, my sister didn't answer to my incessant knocking. Well, maybe breaking the window would be my best option after all . . . Wait! I know! The window doesn't lock! (Shh . . . Don't tell any potential thieves) Why oh why didn't I think of this before? I simply pushed up on the window and let myself in, giving my sister a heart attack in the process. Poor girl thought she was going to be abducted.
This would usually be the part where I tell a moral to the story, or add some witty closing remark, but, I can't think of one. Mostly, this was just a pointless story.
