Ahhh I see :D. You were a sneaky little bastard. Me and my friends used to try and spy on or more "supple" neighbors when we were kids, but we never really saw anything worth looking at. Watching "the boobie channel" through the scramble was the best we could do.

Oh to be young again :D.

@thejakeman: probably disagrees with you:

You're right! It's just like Fahey to post something as fake as his mom's note to him. It's not like anyone would call him out on it and challenge the validity. We all know there are no cynics in the Kotaku commenter populace who might be skeptical and judgemental of Faheys motives. Thanks for pointing out what us lesser mortals are unaware of.

@NightMystic: Actually the batrooms were adjoining, so I drilled a hole from the top of the shower in my bathroom to the wall of the one she was using.

Then before my parents got home I took a snippet of the bathroom wallpaper from a lower location and pasted it over the hole.

I was 13 at the time? Maybe 12. I was driven.

VeritasVierge — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 10:28:41 MDT

@CaptLtrl: You'd be surprised at how many girls do that. Growing up, I always told my friends if they were babysitting any boys 10 or older, not to shower or even dress change at the kids' homes. I also noted it went for any teenage boy they weren't close friends with. My warning came from experience when I thought I could simply change with no trouble since I was coming in straight from field hockey practice. A warning my friends never took seriously until the movie American Pie came out.

@thejakeman: probably disagrees with you: Actually it is my mom. Bonnie Gordon. Stepfather's last name, but still the woman who shot me from her womb nearly 35 years ago. I was moving and without internet when she posted that, and she drove me crazy telling me to check Kotaku.

IN MY DEFENSE!

It was only 2 hotdogs, and they were wrapped in foil for several months.

The babysitter was a fashion model making money on the side, so the hole was completely justified.

And I passed the wrong bowling course AND honors English. Dammit.

And she did indeed hide my Christmas present under my bed, and it was an NES. I slept for a month with an NES under my bed and never noticed. She would actually come into my room, tell me to clean out from under my bed, and I would lie and say I did.

And as for the half-eaten bag of M&Ms....I was really hungry. It was the thought that counted!

I love Mrs. Fahay's use of capitalization and punctuation. By comparison, my mother doesn't even know how to turn on the computer and my father keeps caps lock on AT ALL TIMES. It's seeing comments like hers that restore faith in my mind that yes, somewhere out there, there's someone over the age of 50 who knows the correct way to type on a keyboard.

Ashcraft, is she the new editor Crecente's been alluding to hiring but has been keeping us in the dark about? Please say "yes"! :3
