Ahhhhh!!! Thats soooo cute!!!

I babysat last night. My god. I have two families that I am consistently working for. In one, there are two kids. They go to bed at seven, then I just read in their living room until the parents get home. I make ten dollars an hour from them.

The other family, though....

I arrive at 6:00. The parents dash out the door. Christine (she's four) Wants me to help her write a letter. I help her. Then Johnny (he's seven) wants me to draw a picture of him. Then he makes me sit really still while he draws a picture of me (it looks like a raisin with two stick legs). Then he writes "TO Sonia" On it in big letters and tapes it to my shirt. I spend the rest of the night chasing Christine around (she doesn't want to take her bath). At 8:30, I tell everyone to go to bed. Jilla (she's 9, and no trouble at all) goes and brushes her teeth and gets into bed. Christine and Johnny go to the bathroom, then lock me out because they don't want to brush their teeth. I am forced to invent the story of the Peepee monster in order to get them in bed. Once I get Christine in bed, I have to rub her back and give her a bottle of warm milk. I then leave to Johnny's room in order to read him a story. Christine screams that their is a spider in her room. I run back to her room, where there is no spider. I run back to Johnny's room, where I have to read him Thomas the Tank Engine. Christine starts yelling "Johnny! JOHNNY!" Really loudly. I go back to her room and tell her that she's making me sad, how she won't go to bed. She quiets down.

I go to the living room and pull out my book. I have ten minutes of silent reading beforte Christine comes racing out of her room, screaming, "I had a bad dream!" I look at my watch and say, "Chris, you couldn't possibly have had a bad dream. It's been ten minutes since I put you to bed!" She looks at me solemnly. "I sigh and say, "What was your bad dream about?" She hesitates, then says, "People getting hurt... and dragons..." (it's obvious she's making it up on the spot)

I take her to the kitchen and make her a cup of hot chocolate. Except that I tell her that its a magic potion to make bad dreams go away. Then I tell her that dragons are afraid of sunlight. She goes back to bed.

I start reading again. I finish my book. I pick of one of Jilla's and start reading it. It's 10:30 now, half an hour after the parents said that they would be home. I keep reading.

At 11:30, they come in. The mom throws some money into my hand and points to the door. I trudge out and walk to the subway station, then I realize it's nearly midnight. I sigh and go outside and hale a taxi. I'm forced to spend ALL OF THE MONEY I JUST MADE on that stupid taxi ride home.

And that was my night.

O.O

aww you poor thing! Those kids sound.... very, very.. uh interesting.
lol, I think I would I would pull out my hair in fury if I were you! I like kids but to baby-sit loud and obnoxious ones.. *shudders* you're a stronger girl than me! lol and my parents would kill me if I was outside, alone at midnight. lol

Well, I was SUPPOSED to be home at 10:30, but nooooo. They decided to see two movies instead of just one!!! My parents were asleep when I got home.

I'm good, though, because I have a bottle of mace with me at all times. And a credit card.
