And Take Your Baby And Lift
I dunno what you do when you have no school and only work two hours a day, but I jump around holding small children. Yes, that's right. I agreed to babysit today for a woman in my ward. I didn't know anything about her children, her house, or anything. But hey, unnecessary. So first off, this place is crazy. It's my understanding that they live in the basement of his parent's house, which is probably how all this is possible. Number one. HUGE theater room. Like, "Whoa. That's a big screen" kind of big. The popcorn machine and theater seats are on a deck type deal. Next, there is a little plastic rock steppy thing... next to a slide.... that goes down to a trampoline. Then there's the game room under the deck of the theater room, with air hockey, Foosball, and secret tunnels. Basically, twas ridiculous. I spent my time being a monster, a baby, and a carnival ride. They decided that one of the funnest things there was to do was have me hold them and jump on the trampoline. I had been silently whining to myself about how I didn't work out that morning. Psh, who needs it? I would put one down and the next one immediately starts, "My turn, my turn!" It was exhausting. Then I told them I had to take a break. The oldest asks me, "Do you have enough energy yet?" I say, "No, not yet. I just need to rest for a few more minutes." After approximately twenty seconds she's back again. "Do you have enough energy now?" "Nope. Not yet." "How about now? Now? Now? Now? When are you going to have enough energy to keep jumping?" Also, they all have pierced ears (they're three little girls). The oldest was fascinated with my earrings. She put them in and took them out several times. The right side was fine. The left was a little more difficult, but she didn't want me to put it back in. So she put it gently off to the side and told me it was there for when I needed to go home. And then we both forgot about it. So there's a rather large hoop earring in their basement by the trampoline...All in all, twas fun.
