Someone's Gotta Do IT

When most female children are younger they dream of becoming a BABY SITTER! But once they reach the age when they can babysit, they realize it's not all fun and games. Now don't get me wrong I love to babysit. I meet new families and children, I LOVE children. Thats where my problem comes in. I just can't say no to children and I think they sense that. Of course I want both the parents and the children to like me so that they'll let me watch their kids again but I don't want to be strict.

I'm very fun and outgoing. Not to mention it's always the child's choice. If they want to run up and down the stairs with me then I will do so. If they want me to pet their dog 100 times in a circular motion I will do so. As long as it's not putting them in harm or danger I WILL DO IT! I guess that is what makes me so fun. But the time always comes when I say, "Hey guys it's time to go to bed." and that is when the trouble begins. I'm not very good with the NO word and they are just too cute so how can I resist?

This is when the pleading starts. The "Okay I'll let you stay up for ten more minutes but thats it." But then those ten minutes turn into fifteen and fifteen turns in to a half hour until I'm looking at the time and discovering I've been played by a 10 year old. Kids they always get one over on you.

So for those little girls out there waiting to grow up, just keep on waiting because you are not missing a thing. TRUST ME!!!
