My mother used to tell the story that she left my sister and I alone with Dad for a few hours, to go shopping. Came home, 'How are the girls?'.

'Oh, they've been great. Haven't heard a sound out of them.'

Turns out we were painting on the brand-new, less than 3 week old linoleum in the kitchen.

Oy. I used to babysit some friends kids. And I *knew* that quiet was not a good sign.

Haha yes. You want them to be quiet. Then the moment they actually are, you panic bc chances are they're up to something.
