good point, maleficent.
and even if nothing did happen, if anybody knew that the kids were there alone, not only could they take them or do something to them, they could call social services and then i think you'd regret having left them alone. i know a guy who recently went through a pretty thorough social services investigation because he was asleep (passed out?) on the couch while his 2 year old played in the back yard. the kid wanted in and was banging on the door and crying. the neighbors saw this, and the rest is history. all has ended up OK in his case, but it was a pretty unpleasant experience to say the least.
