Pollilops, Booty and the Beast and More: My Misadventures in Babysitting

As many of you know I am a Child Wrangler extraordinaire. I wipe butts in a single swoop. Not even Superman can say he does that. And while such a task seems taxing, the perks of this job are abundant.

Example 1:
Torrance (Almost 3 years old): "Lina...can I have a pollilop?"
Lina: "What? You want a what?"
Torrance: "A pollilop. Please. Can I have one?"
Lina: "Um..."
Torrance: *she picks up a small toy pan and starts licking it* "A pollilop!"

Example 2:
Torrance: "BOOTY!"
Lina: "Uh?"
Torrance: "Aw! Booty!? Where'd you go?"
Lina: "You talking about your bottom 'cause it's right here. *slaps Torrance's bottom*"
Torrance: "No silly. Booty. Booty and the Beast. Where'd it go?"

Example 3:

That my friends, is a very scared, very tense little girl. She locked her baby sister and I outside and couldn't figure out how to unlock it. It was so sad I had to take a picture...and laugh ;)

Obviously the problem has been solved as I'm babysitting for the family again today, lol.

"Really?" you ask...

Really. I get paid to do this, lol.

Gotta love it.
