And the roaring of their cars’ engines (if they can drive a car)

I can tell who is getting home on my street bc ik all the car lock sounds

Example

like you know when you use a key fob and lock your car remotely and it makes the alarm sound?
I can tell which neighbor or which parent is home based on that

Do you clean up the house super fast when your parents come home

my mom is always home
I don't even know what that's like

Your mom doesn’t let you watch tv when you’re home alone so you have to sneak the remote or cable out when she’s not looking, and when she comes home, you and your siblings clean up the living room and try to hide the evidence

oh my mom didn't let me watch much tv but she was a stay at home mom and the only tv is the living room tv
we couldn't even sneak stuff out or she'd know immediately

That’s what I meant
