Yo, and by the way...

Latchkey kid as well. I mostly enjoyed it and all the other places I was dropped off at as a kid. I look back at some of it with horror now that I have some perspective on what and who I was being exposed to. I really can't imagine having to watch a five year old at age nine. Watching yourself at nine seems fine for some kids but no kid should have to take care of a five year old in this society. Sounds pretty miserable for you and your sister, makes me feel sad for nine year old you.
