God forbid a teenage girl need to change her tampon! Another time that summer they needed me to arrive at 6 am (I usually started at 8). Naturally I fell asleep on the sofa about 15 minutes after arriving, and I woke up at 7:30 to one of the kids standing over me holding the phone and saying "it's Mom for you, she sounds mad." It was a big deal that I fell asleep and didn't hear the phone ringing on a different level of the house (the cordless phone was in the 12yo's room). It's been almost 22 years and it still bothers me 😅
