This one goes in the house journal. :)

I think this just about says it all...



The 10 Levels of Friendship

1. Pick up groceries
2. Help with laundry
3. Bring me soup - I'm sick
4. Exchange car/house keys
5. Raid friend's liquor cabinet with relatives when friend is away
6. Pick up my sick kid from school
7. Help me clean up after raccoon(s) invaded my house
8. There is a dead rat in my walls - help me find it
9. There is a dead rat in my walls - find it while I go out of town...

I understand all of this I think except number 5?

Heh. It does need some explaining. When we were on vacation once, we had asked Michelle to take care of our cats and mail. Once day, when she came in, she found a bottle of liquor on the dining room table, and used glasses by the kitchen sink, or something along those lines. She called us to inform, and ask if we knew what had happened, and maybe there was a problem...
Turn out that Matt & Terry had been by, probably to park in our driveway on the way to downtown, or such, and had brought in his parents to show one of the major renovation projects Matt had been helping us with. And they had had a chat and a drink.
Perfectly acceptable, no problem so far - they're not guests anymore, but more part of the household anyway, so what's one drink matter?
Well, except for confusing Michelle, and us for a bit. We figured a burglar would have gone for something other than a drink :)
