Peace and quiet at last! No nagging parents or irritating siblings for the time being, anyway. Time to get comfortable.
1. Walk around in only undies.
Privacy doesn't come easily in a family or tight living quarters. What better way to flaunt it than walking around in an otherwise compromising position. Not to mention how free and comfortable this rare opportunity is.
2. Pretend to be a famous pop star by singing into a comb.
Taylor Swift ain't got nothing on you with a hairbrush in your hand and song in your heart. Never mind the shattered glass.
3. Pig out like a total glutton.
Normally when around others, people hold back, but when no one else is present why bother? Just open the fridge, grab what looks good, and go to town. No use holding back once you discover how delicious popcorn and icing taste together.
4. Watch shows that your family teases you for liking.
No other people, no prying eyes to judge. Once ruled too old for dorky Disney shows, one will refrain from watching them for fear of embarrassment. But solitude brings forth opportunity to binge watch "Descendants," "Star vs." and even "Jessie" with no fear of mortification and no dread of odd looks.
5. Bask in the quiet (because it will end too soon).
Lie down with closed eyes and listen to the sweet sound of silence. With family around the chance infrequently presents itself to just sit in silence and enjoy the moment. Before too long, those front doors will barge open and a cacophony of comments, compliments, agreements and laughter will soon descend.
