Autumn (my 10y/o)

Laughed and said she tells her kids about duct tape too?? LMAO

I told her you bet see it isnt only mommy who tells her kids about that stuff!!!

I spent all afternoon writing that

And tell Autumn when she has kids of her own she will pray for duct tape and benadryl

LOL... yes she will!!!

Making her some "tea" now.. (warmed up that benadryl) LMAO KIDDING!!!!!

Here are my well earned rights as a bonafide babysitter, rules for proper babysitting, not necessarily to be used in the order written or all at once (or yes can be), whichever you choose:

1. Lots and lots of 2-liter bottles of coke (must be the real thing, not decaf or diet)

a. To perform loud belches
b. To release lots and lots of butt gas

(disclaimer: not responsible for smell, have lots of air freshener handy)

2. Keys (well hidden throughout the house) to the liquor cabinet and have an extra set around your neck

3. Changes of underwear and slippers for those accidental pissing bouts you may encounter

4. Bottles and bottles of Benadryl (for allergic reactions and sleep deprived nights) **looking around neck for keys to liquor cabinet**

5. Keys (well hidden throughout the house) to the liquor cabinet

6. Fast moving ceiling fans (must be able to hold at least 130 pounds while spinning in mid-air) **looking around neck for keys to liquor cabinet**

7. Plenty of paper towels to clean up mess from #1 above **looking around neck for keys to liquor cabinet**

8. Keys (well hidden throughout the house) to the liquor cabinet

9. Rolls and rolls of duct tape (assorted colors, I found that the kids are attracted to bright colors, thanks Patti ) **looking around neck for keys to liquor cabinet**

10. Reams and reams of bubble wrap (thanks Connie) so when they roll across the floor, they pop loud (hey, you need to enjoy it as well) and don't break furniture and fine glassware as they hit it **looking around neck for keys to liquor cabinet**

11. Plenty of paint to hide the marks from the duct tape **looking around neck for keys to liquor cabinet**

12. Keys (well hidden throughout the house) to the liquor cabinet

13. When you decide to babysit, make sure it is in a state where school is open 365 days a year (minus 1 day for religious observance) **looking around neck for keys to liquor cabinet**

14. Keys (well hidden throughout the house) to the liquor cabinet

15. Teach the kids these simple phrases:

a. Yes ma'am (or sir)
b. Yes ma'am (or sir)
c. Yes ma'am (or sir)

16. Plenty of band-aids/antiseptic cream in case the kids scrape their knuckles/knees/hands/faces trying to break free from the duct tape restraints **looking around neck for keys to liquor cabinet**

17. You must be able to run faster than the children you are babysitting **looking around neck for keys to liquor cabinet**

18. Make sure you know how to cook, kids like to eat **looking around neck for keys to liquor cabinet**

19. Keys (well hidden throughout the house) to the liquor cabinet

20. Keys (well hidden throughout the house) to the liquor cabinet


*****PLEASE REMEMBER THESE RULES WILL NOT WORK WITH ALL KIDS, JUST SOME

I will have to remember this in case I ever "babysit" you, Erin, & Patti.

OMG,,will you two babysit me?
