i went awhile without internet as well when i was younger
i had used my mom's debit card to buy me NX...like $80 worth!
so i wasn't allowed on the computer until further notice
eventually, my mom finally noticed that i wasn't getting on the computer
or maybe she had asked if i wanted to get on? my younger sister was asleep iirc (we shared a computer back then)
i told her she said i wasn't allowed on the computer because i had stolen that money from her
she said she had completely forgotten about that, lol
