So share your cringe. <br><br>**Why I need to feel better**<br><br>We live in a small town and the (maybe) sixteen year old girl next door babysits sometimes when we go out. <br>She has an older brother who's around 19-20. <br>We've never met him. <br>From what I've heard he's a bit of a loner who keeps to himself. <br>It's not weird, I'm a loner too. <br>I’ve asked our (male) neighbors about him, and they said he’s quiet but nothing to be afraid of. <br>So, I was reassured. <br>Everything was fine. <br><br>Until... <br><br>One night our daughter was with her grandparents and we were going out. <br>We told the next-door neighbor girl to come after dark and watch our house. <br>We had already left when I realized we had forgotten to unlock the back door. <br>I had extra keys in my bag, but no way to get into the house. <br>So I asked her brother to let her in. <br>I wasn’t really thinking. <br>I was just trying to be nice. <br>Then it hit me...<br><br>He thought I meant I wanted to sneak him into my house. <br>And the girl was too polite to correct me. <br>I still cringe when I think about it.
