A "Hard" "Day's" "Work*"

Today I babysat for six Greeno Chick-fil-A empire heirs and heiresses from approx. 5am until approx. 4pm. Their parents were going (and went) out of town.

Some people consider babysitting work. Sometimes it is hard work. In my case, it is nearly always "hard" "work." As in I have to make 9 grilled cheeses before I actually get to eat one. Or a screaming four year old won't let me wipe the chocolate off her face. Or I can't get the TV remote to work for several minutes and my arm gets tired from being in the air.

But usually I eventually get a grilled cheese, the screaming tends to stop at least temporarily, chocolate faces get cleaned, and I can almost always get the TV to eventually allow me access to the hundreds of channels I will probably not watch after flipping through them all.

Today, at "work," this is what I did:

1. Dora. (x500 episodes--why does Nickelodeon have like 8 channels which play the same episodes throughout the day but at different times? Because they want to kill me.)
2. Letting the kids entertain themselves.
3. Aqua Sand. (?) Weird but Cool but really messy.
4. &hotdogs. Classic.
5. Duh.
6. Not exactly this. But we did make brownies.
7. I totally had the fun factory when I was a kid. Unfortunately, today, we did not. But still.
8. See number 2, while entertaining myself.

It's almost not fair that they pay me. How do I keep getting "jobs" like this?



It is actually awesome.
