history: I remember back when I was younger my parents and I had rooms right next to each other. One year my parents decided to finish their basement and make it a master suite for themselves. I thought it would be great! I was so wrong. I was terrified for many months to sleep "by myself" and ended up sleeping on a couch in the basement. What caused you to be freaked out over the finished basement? Sounds good all around.
current: I was just scared because my parents and I had always been in rooms next to each other and now they were ALL the way downstairs. Thinking back it was a pretty silly thing to be afraid about.
next: Well, actually, I think that makes sense considering you were a kid and you were use to them being with you upstairs.
