If you're 8,
and you have a snow day,
and your mom says to let your sister sleep in because she was crabby yesterday,
and it's still dark out,
and you're sitting in the living room by the locked front door through which no one has passed,
and you come to the kitchen to ask your mom something,
and she's not there,
you must run screaming her name throughout the house,
rather than check the basement -- where she's done laundry every single day of your life --
because it's much more likely that she climbed out the window in her pajamas to go shopping.
