The Jones' family are going away on vacation and need someone to take care of their dogs while they're away. The Smith's offer to doggysit and they stay in the Jones' house while they're away. (All agreed, of course.) The Jones' bring four of their children with them on the vacation, one daughter of 23, one of 19 and one of 10, as well as a son of 16. The two older daughter's are Mrs. Jones' from a previous marriage and the son is Mr. Jones' from a previous marriage. Mrs. Jones also had an older son and Mr. Jones an older daughter. (The son is on speaking terms with the family, but the daughter hasn't been since Mr. Jones' last wife died.)
The families part ways on a happy note and the Jones' drive away for their vacation.
When they get back they find the window in the 16-year old boy's room opened and it's rained in. They've also found a used condom on the floor and the door to the back garden is broken. They accuse the Smith's of having sex in the boy's room and then leaving the condom there. They also say that they've ruined the back door completely and that it will cost a lot of money to get it fixed. Money that they owe the Smith's and that the Smith's will now not get back. A day passes and then they call the Smith's to tell them that they're found another condom in the boy's room. They accused the Smith's of having sex orgies while they were away.
Mrs. Smith go to the house to recover a lost pillow, but find that she won't be let into the house. Luckily Mrs. Jones comes at the same time and reluctantly lets Mrs. Smith have her pillow. She then mentions that she thought they were friends and that she can't understand how the Smith's could do this to her and her family. Mrs. Smith points out that the 23-year old daughter's boyfriend also had keys to the house and that he went home on his lunches to walk the dogs. Mrs. Jones wonders if Mrs. Smith really thinks that he would lie to her and says that she's making things up. Mrs. Smith answers that someone is lying and it sure as hell isn't her. (Mrs. Smith later told me that Mrs. Jones had told her that Mr. Jones' daughter - the one who didn't speak to the family - had a habit of hiding used panty liners all around her room. Under the bed, behind books, in speakers. She also told me that she never saw any condoms while being in the house.)
The friendship is now over and Mr. Jones have called Mrs. Smith to make sure that she knows that she's been a plague on their family and that she can just forget getting her money back.
The Smith's are 63 and 61. Their children have moved out and have homes of their own. Mr. Smith has recently gone through chemotherapy for cancer and Mrs. Smith has had surgery for a bad hip less than two months away. She doesn't like to use the stairs and she doesn't use them at all if there's no bannister - the Jones' house doesn't have a bannister. They haven't been sleeping in the same bed for many, many years. This leads to the following questions:
- Considering Mrs. Smith's age - why would the Smith's use a condom while having sex?
- The Jones' double bed is downstairs - why would the Smith's go upstairs, to a single bed to have sex?
- Did the Jones' daughter's boyfriend tell the truth?
- Is Mr. Jones' son going the same way as his daughter and hiding used things around his room?
- Did someone climb in through the window and threw the condoms on the floor?
- Was the back door already broken and are the Jones' pissed off that the Mr. Smith, who's a handyman, didn't fix it?
- Are the Jones' hoping that by accusing the Smith's of breaking the back door they can get away from the debt they owe them?
- Does the Jones' 16-year old son have a sex-drive?
- Did Colonel Mustard kill Professor Plum with the knife in the library?
