Having a six year old and an eight year old, I just can't imagine leaving them home alone for 2 minutes, let alone 25. I often have to take them out for food and such, we go through the shoe drill, the coat drill, etc, and all go. Its not like you have to carry the kids on your back for the whole trip, they can actually walk.

"I was only gone for, like, 25 minutes to go get my kids something to eat," explained Ashley Guillory.
