The Life and Times of Katy the Babysitter

I've been babysitting overnight since Tuesday so I've been TV and internet deprived as well as awoken by twin 4 year olds at 6 (or earlier) every morning. And I just want to say, I am so. Happy. To be OUT OF THERE! Oh my gosh..These kids! I mean I love them but I had had just about enough of "He's copying me! He kicked me! He poked the flag in my face! I don't want that, I want whipped cream for dinner!" Or my personal favorite, "Kaaaaaaaaaty, I'm reeeeeeeeeady!" This is what the twins would say when they needed me to come wipe their butts. Now, I teach these two at the preschool and I know that they are quite capable of wiping their own mini butts, so when I first heard "the call" I had to ask what was up...

"What do you mean 'you're ready'? I asked Pablo who has a thick spanish accent.
"For you to wipe. my. butt."
"Yeah, I get that part, but can't you do that yourself? You wipe yourself at school."
"Yes, but, but, but, (and he stutters a bit too) I sometimes miss all the poopy."
Pause
"I see."
Another pause, Then he hands me the toilet paper.
"So...I'm ready."

He's lucky he's cute is all I'm saying. Damn lucky.

Here's not not waking up before 6 tomorrow morning!
