    "Home alone [...] with my brother" that doesn't make sense. :P

    That you think it doesn't make sense. ;)

    Being home alone =/= being home with your brother, in my opinion. :P Or I'm entirely misunderstanding what you mean with that sentence. :P

    Yeah, I understand, but I don't agree. I respect it, though. :P How about when Lanata and I were at born_ego's parental home, but born_ego's family wasn't there? Would you find 'home alone' strange there too? (well, the 'home' there would be a little strange, as it wasn't my or Lanata's home, but I'm asking about the 'alone' part :P)

    :P - yes, I would. The home part is fine in my opinion, you were still at someone's home. You weren't alone, though. I'd personally probably call it "with just xxx at someone else's house". Funnily enough, in Dutch you fall back on the "alone" with "alleen", but then with a different definition. :P Or I'd call it "I'm at [place] with (just) xxx".
