Let me tell ya, kids these days...
Kids these days are ridiculously sassy. My nephew looks identical to my brother, acts just like my brother, and talks just like my brother. You could say his dad is his idol. I came over to babysit and my brother was about to go hunting. My nephew starts following him out the door. He hollers back at me,
"Hey big girl, how bout you cook up some hot dinner we'll be back with a big buck."
The kid is only 4 years old! He is a walking, talking clone of my brother.
Over the summer we were all packed in the car to leave for Florida for a family vacation. My brother gets in a silly fight with his wife. He goes inside and says he isn't going. My nephew hops out of the car and goes inside too. He comes right back out, grabs his blankey, and says
"I'm staying with my dad."
He then puts his thumb in his mouth and stomps off.
I was babysitting another time through the summer and we were all sitting out back. I was watching the kids play as I munch on all their popsicles. My nephew pulls up to his little sister and her friend in a little Barbie jeep. He had the Barbie radio playing and puts on his Spiderman sunglasses and says,
“Hey pretty ladies, you need a ride?"
Kids can say the funniest things. But if they misbehave they won't listen to me. The only way I can get my nephew to listen is if I threaten to call his dad. Kids just don't mind me.
Sincerely,
The Bad Babysitter
