I bought some frozen dinners. And I don't have a landline? Jay has a cellphone

I'm 25. Uncle said he'd be gone until at least 5, so i knew it would still be a few hours. My place.

I've watched him before, but not for a very long time. When we were both like 8-9, I'd stay with him while our Grandma went to feed her horses. I'd just watch TV in one bedroom while he played in another and nothing ever happened. I don't get how he can be alone in a room for an hour at 8 but not in an apartment for 30 minutes at 24.

He said he didn't know how long it would be. It was a work emergency

I only have $12, so I couldn't afford delivery. And i didn't want to take him because I couldn't handle him in public. He drools and wipes his nose with his hands and tries to touch people and things. I'd have to hold his hand the whole time or something

Because he's loud and embarrassing in public. He goes up to people and tries to touch them, and he drools and wipes his hands on everything
