The Babysitter Returns

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking this is a preview for a new movie, right? Nope!

You know how I babysitted those three kids I told you about in an earlier post? Well, I babysitted them again Wednesday night at their house because my mom was going there for a party, and the host wanted me to watch her kids.

To refresh your memory, the kids' names were Mia (6), Joseph (6), and Jake (8).

When I got there, it was just Mia and Joseph. Jake was at a friend's house. Mia and Joseph (Mia calls him "Jo-Jo") took me down into the basement. I had brought a game, some movies, and Go Fish (because every kid knows how to play Go Fish). We did that for a while, and then another party guest arrived with her son, Aidin, who is also five I believe. So I watched him, too.

I asked the three kids if they wanted to watch a movie. After everyone said "yes," I asked them which one they wanted to see. Incredibles, Ice Age 3, or Robots. Mia wanted to see Ice Age 3, and Joseph and Aidin wanted to see Robots. They kept shouting about which one they wanted to see, so I finally said "Whoever wants to see Ice Age, raise their hand." Mia and Joseph raised their hands.

I said to Joseph, "I thought you wanted to see Robots," and then he said, "I changed my mind." Then I took another vote asking who wanted to see Ice Age 3, and then only Mia raised her hand. Joseph apparently changed his mind again.

So I finally decided to flip a coin (well, we flipped a remote, because we couldn't find a coin). We ended up seeing Ice Age 3. Mia talked through some of the movie, and told me some interesting things. I didn't mind. It was fun to be with them. Jake arrived towards the end of the movie from his friends house, so at one point, I was babysitting four kids. Three six year olds, and one eight year old.

My mom and I got home at about 10:45 pm. I babysitted for three hours!

But, I'm excited because I'm getting paid today, so...yayy!
