So now that I'm back in Ann Arbor I feel like I have to write an end of summer post. But instead of giving you a play by play of what I did, I thought some babysitting tales would be more interesting.
As many of you know, I didn't get a job this summer. Instead I babysat whenever I was home. The thing with babysitting is that you never know what's going to happen.
For instance:
You could show up to find this in the driveway
 |
| This is a Ford F650 that used to belong to a Raven's player! |
Or this in the sink
 |
Frozen mice thawing to be fed to the snake,
not what you want to see at 7 am. |
Or this on the counter
 |
| Awkward... |
Or frankly, you could show up to an empty house (you wouldn't believe how many times this has happened to me)
And then there's the critters:
Sometimes they're normal
 |
| Dex is a cutie |
And sometimes they're not
 |
| Spike the bearded dragon. I'll stick with mammals. |
And sometimes you step on a giant gross bug!
 |
| This thing was huge! |
But the real reason you come is for the kids
That can be bad
But usually it's tons of fun
 |
| Baking fairy cookies. |
 |
| And eating them. |
 |
| That's one way to get kids to eat carrots! |
 |
| Baking personal pizzas |
So that's what I've been doing this summer in between my traveling. It's a pretty great job if I do say so myself.
Do you have any good babysitting stories?
