I have so much sympathy for poor LW

My mother once called police and tried to file a missing persons report on me when I was 15? 16? 17?

because I had gone to visit a friend, and my mother had assumed (without asking or discussing it with me at all) that I would be home before the sun set, and I actually got home at night around 8pm/9pm/10pm (I went to see a film)

the police told her that she had to wait 24 hours
