You call your son who is in one of the rooms below 13 times and get no response. Nobody is walking down your street. Screaming names into roof vents and stomping on the roof over the room your son is in doesn't draw his attention. After about 30 minutes of contemplating your navel, finally your son calls you back and holds the ladder and your foot.

Can you really blame him? Your son probably heard you, but he figured you were just a few inches away from an insurance payout that would change his life.
