0:00.0 | Eden. How old were you when you were left home alone for the first time? Young. So young. |
0:09.3 | So young. Give it to me. Okay. So I, I have a single mom. Like, I mean, not forever, but my dad died when I was seven. And so, and I will say, I have an older brother. |
0:22.4 | So I think that, like, there are two answers. How old was I when I was left home completely |
0:27.8 | alone? And how old was I when I was left home alone with my brother? Are two probably different |
0:33.7 | answers. But I, you know, when my mom had to go out and do stuff, and if we |
0:38.5 | weren't all, I, we definitely were with her for a lot of time. |
0:43.2 | Yeah. |
0:43.6 | If she just needed to like go get a bag of lettuce or something, I really think seven. |

1:42.3 | And my mom was so proud of us that she took us to Toys RS and we got to pick out a toy each. Wow. We must have been really young if your brother was in middle school. Maybe he was, yeah, I think it was middle school. I think it was young, young. Yeah. He was with six or seven? Like he's how many years old than you? He's seven years older than me. Yeah. |
