Alone

No doubt there are a million wonderful reasons when you stay with your folks, I am not refuting that. But there are also a couple of equally awesome points to why staying alone can be a good thing.

1. Things that go missing will stay missing!
If you stay alone, you will probably know where you left your favourite spoon. You used it to make some coffee about one week ago, washed it and left it to dry on the rack. Now that you want to use it again, it goes missing. Possible culprits would be your folks who 'misplaced' it as they have their own ways of packing stuff. Now you'll have to ask them nicely where they hid it.

2. Things have legs and will move about!
The drawback of staying alone is that you have no one to ask for help if you really can't find a certain item. However, if there is someone else, the tendency of the item shifting about is much higher. Muscles have memories, if you have heard. When you are taking a shower, you will automatically reach for the conditioner bottle which is supposed to be in it's usual position, top shelf, on the right. You pumped it a couple of times and slapped it on your hair, to find the fragrance of the 'conditioner' smelling vaguely like your liquid body soap. Voila! There you go, you have just washed your hair twice because someone replaced the conditioner bottle!
