The Baby-Sitter's in Charge
Published Jan 21, 2004
With some misgivings, we left a young baby-sitter in charge of our three energetic youngsters. When we returned a few, hours later, she was sitting
alone watching TV. I went to check on the children, and found them in our
narrow hallway.
By bracing their arms and legs against the walls, two of them had climbed up to the ceiling. "The baby-sitter taught us how," they said gleefully.
The sitter joined me, her face a deep red. "Since they had me climbing the
walls, I figured they might as well be too," she stammered.
