I Was Told I'm Not a Very Good Babysitter

Tweet

On Sunday my youngest granddaughter who is 7 years old brought three of her dolls with her to play with. She told me their names (which I kept forgetting sometimes intentional and other times not). So, I would make up names when she asked me if I knew which one was which. Instead of getting frustrated she calmly retold me the names and I was pretty amazed that she took my forgetfulness with a gain of salt. I guess she didn't catch on to the fact that most of the time I was teasing her. At some point she asked me if I would watch her three babies while she went outside to play with the other kids. Of course I was ready, willing and able to mind three little dolls. When she came back inside I was in the kitchen and the three babies were on the sofa and no one was paying much attention to them. With hands on hips she turns and says to me..."Nanny you aren't a very good babysitter" picks up her babies and took them outside. Oh well, guess I won't be able to use her for references if I ever look for a babysitting job
