Use the side door ONLY
The 18 year old, who resides in Simone's basement, wanted to invite some friends over. Quietly. He'd been warned by Simone that inviting friends was okay so long as the curfew was observed and quiet reigned.
So to avoid any disturbances upstairs where Simone et family live, the 18 year old placed a sign on the porch door. It read "Use the side door only!" An arrow pointed the reader in the proper direction.
It might have gone unnoticed save for the fact that the 12 year old came home after the sign was posted. She read the sign. Though puzzled by the side door order, the 12 year old's reasoning was somewhat hampered by an unexpected onslaught of the flu. She trotted over to the side door and went to the basement door, knocking to gain entry.
"Hey!" She complained. "There's a party going on in here!"
It just goes to prove that it's tough to cover all the bases and not get caught when you're trying to do something under the radar...
