So, just to make it abundantly clear that this is all a bunch of unfounded generalization: the kid in question takes the bus, can get home and get inside independently, and the reason I'm asking this convenient machine for a reminder is just to avoid being surprised.

Asking my phone for a convenient reminder makes me lazy, fearful, and prioritizing comfort and control over all else. Never change, HN. Actually, you know what? Please change, HN. This shit is tiresome.
