How I Got Locked Out Of My House

One day me and my friends road the bus to my house. We didn't think to call on the way there so when we got there nobody was there. I then called my mom to see where she was at and she was in Portland and we had no way to contact my brothers. So we had to sit out side for about two hours when it was freezing and on top of that we were really hungry. So now I understand that I need to call before I just go home to make sure I can even get in.
