I'm Locked in the Bathroom!

I have to shake off yesterday's post with something more humorous.

When Jim was out of town a few months ago we had a young woman from the neighborhood watch the kids a couple of the days while I went to work. She's hadn't been babysitting that long and was trying out a few new methods. One of those was a daily report of what happened during the day. I don't know what to say about this other than I thought it was darn funny, especially the second page. I asked her mom (not her, mind you) if I could post her report. You may need to click to enlarge the note:

Lest you worry the babysitter was alive and well, and out of the bathroom, by the time I got home.

"They were attacking me???" Little Connor and Nyah? They are sweet, innocent angels, so I think she must be talking about some other children.

I remember you telling me about this, but to see and read it is hilarious. Glad you are back!

This reminds me of some truly bad children (not like yours) that I babysat when I was a teenager. They had a really bad reputation with babysitters. The one before me had been tricked into climbing from a gable window out onto the roof to retrieve something they threw out there. Of course they locked her out! So when I babysat, they paid me VERY well and weren't too upset to find their home office destroyed when they returned. I guess the destruction wasn't unusual. The parents were just glad to have someone there who would call 911. Anyway, great note!

Ettie - You're welcome! :)

Pinky - I know. Totally innocent I'm sure.

Janell - It's even better to see the real thing, isn't it?

Mindy - Oh yeah! That's right! I forgot about her.

Mary - Oh my. Sounds like you should have earned hazard pay!
