Last night, Kyle was home alone for the first time. He just turned twelve and his folks trust him enough to stay out of trouble while they were away for a business dinner.

Kyle was excited about being left alone at home. But he was nervous as well. What if something went wrong? Would he know what to do? Kyle was confident enough that he would be okay until his parents arrive.

Before his parents left, they gave him a list of telephone numbers he can contact in case of an emergency. They also left him a wonderful dinner of macaroni and cheese. Kyle’s mom told him to be in bed by ten since it wasn’t a school night tomorrow.

Kyle was in his room playing video games when he felt hungry. He remembered the macaroni and cheese his mom made for him. Kyle went to the kitchen and turned on the kitchen light. He took out the mac and cheese from the fridge and popped it into the microwave.

An hour later, Kyle was in bed. He had already brushed his teeth and changed into his pajamas. His parents would be so proud of him. He kept his nose clean and out of trouble.
