Struggles of Babysitting


Don't place the fork in the outlet

Don't feed chocolate to the family pet

Hazard behaviors like starting domestic fires

Don't get inside and spin around in the dryer 

Random fits and tantrums

Mood swings that are random

It seems that this experience is a bad start

Stop poking holes in the tire of that car

Toys scattered all over the place

I have no energy for this chase

Mud all over the ground

The tub water is overflowing - we could have drowned

Your mother's fine china plates are broken

Is that a crack on the wall? It's wide open

Please don't dial 9-1-1 again

The parents will be home soon

I can already seem that I'm doomed

The whole house is a disaster

We need to clean up faster
