Well here I am after a stressful
but exciting and eventful baby-sitting job. I was babysitting Macy and Alex.
What trouble makers! They had ants in their pants the whole time.
Anyway... I got them back good. I’ll tell you about it.
I came over prepared with everything but the kitchen
sink, ready for anything. Well Macy and Alex’s parents left and I found
out I wasn’t ready for anything. They starting jumping off the walls.
Usually I can settle down the kids but not Macy and Alex. I was getting hot
under the collar. I asked them if they were hungry and they screamed
yes. I made them Mac n’ Cheese and while I was doing that they were up to
the usual monkey business. I sat them down at the table and gave them
their plates. They were being very well behaved and I sensed that something
was wrong but I was stupid and just buried my head in the sand.
After dinner they silently watched TV. I cleaned up dinner
and flopped down on the couch. I wanted to call it a day, but Macy and Alex’s
parents wouldn’t be home till 6 and it was only 4. I asked them if I could
do any house work and they answered back with, “Yeah, you could do the dishes.”
They answered together in chorus like they had planned it. I ignored it and
went to go dry the dishes. When I opened the cupboard door to put a plate
away, a ton of syrup was poured all over me! I turned around and the kids
threw a bucket of bright orange, purple, and green feathers on me. I just
about hit the roof! Macy started to make fun of me and Alex joined
in. I was ready to jump down their throat. I was furious! I sent them
to their rooms and tried to clean up my clothes. It was the one time when
I didn’t bring extra clothes and needed them. I thought I was behind the
eight ball, but I remembered that I could call my mom so I did. She brought
me new clothes and took my “bird suit” home to wash.
I had an hour and a half to get back at Macy and Alex.
I had no idea what to do. I finally came up with bee in your bonnet idea.
I began working faster than a speeding bullet. I finished up my prank
with half an hour left to spare. I wasn’t surprised when I found the kids
asleep. They really had burned the candle at both ends. I woke them
up gently and had them come out into the living room. They didn’t suspect
a thing; I was getting excited. Macy walked into the kitchen and tripped
over invisible string. A pie came flying into her face. She cried bloody
murder and ran. She slipped on the banana peel and a gallon of honey
was poured over her. Macy turned around and glared at me. I pulled the string
and there went my water gallon. Alex knew he sitting duck and he was
right. I pulled his strings too. Custard was poured on him, then chocolate
syrup, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. They were both mad as a wet
hen but then lightened up. “You got us back good,” said Macy. Alex agreed.
We cleaned up the mess together until the eleventh
hour and finished just as Macy and Alex’s parents came in the door. The
kids explained our day in full detail and I was surprised to hear that they
wanted me back. I said I would, and they took me home.
Now here I sit waiting for my next babysitting assignment
and writing in my diary of my day feeling my oats. While I did . .
. "Ringgggg" . . . OH NO! it's the revenge of the baby sitter!!!!! Oh no,
oh no, it's gonna eat me.
