Babysitting Blues

Hey, ya'll. Since I'm feeling waaaaaaay too lazy to write about anything scriptural or historical, we're going to do sort of a Q & A. What is your most memorable (scary, funny, weird, etc.) babysitting venture? Now, I know all of you have babysat someone (pets count) at least once. So. Please comment and share your "babysitting blues" with us. I'll start with one of mine. I'd have to say my most "memorable" (or whatever you want to call it) babysitting escapade was the night of the Creepy Guy. You know, when the guy who looked suspiciously like TobyMac came to our door while Emily and I were watching Abby and he tried to get in. Man, that was W-E-I-R-D. Actually, we were scared to death. After Emily peeked out the window, we ran to the basement and contemplated hiding under the bed. Finally, however, we settled on arming ourselves with a giant roll of wrapping paper...just in case. And if I remember correctly, we called my mom, just to make sure she wasn't expecting a visit from TobyMac that evening.
Allllllright. Your turn. Answer away!

i was just on here just like two min. ago and you hadnt posted anything. weird.
ok on to the babysitting thing. once i was bbsiting my little bro and we were just playing G-Cube and he started to screem bloody murder!! of course i freaked out. we ran upstairs and i said, "christian what is wrong?" and he said,"My foot! MY FOOT!"
i looked at his foot and he had a welt and a mark on his toe. now i was really scared! I gave him a wet washcloth to put on his toe while i went downstairs to look to see what had bit him. i shook out a blanket that we had been useing and this little black thing that looked like a spider flew out. two words went through my mind: BLACK WIDOW! i went up to christian and called my mom. she said that she would be coming soon. christian said somthing that just ripped my heart out,"Am i going to die?" I said, "no, no christian, you arent going to die!" then he said," I am glad it wasnt you, viv." how sweet is that!! well when mom got home we went down to the basemant and it ended up being a WASP! UHHHH!!!!!!

I have a good one (and I think I've told you about it already) :)

OK, I was babysitting some kids down the street and it was about 9:30 or 10:00 at night. I was sitting on the edge of the sofa reading "House". (it's a wierd book) Anyway, I was in a suspenseful (not to mention pretty scary) part and I was sooo absorbed in it! Then I had this odd feeling like someone was watching me so I looked around and saw my little brother looking in the window, and he had just started knocking on the door. I was So Extremely freaked out that I fell over, practically screamed and dropped the book! LOL It took me about 20 seconds to open the door 'cuz my hands were shaking so hard. :D And the reason he came up was just to tell me that my mom was leaving to pick my dad up form the airport. haha
Babysitting memories rock :p
