Back from babysitting... No, I STILL don't speak German.
This four-year-old boy can't understand that, but his big sister (6) spoke English, so, it was alright. Damn, their house was like a freakin' SCULPTURE... I want their house. It was like modern architecture, but not the ugly McMansion type, the cool type, where everything is built like art... JEALOUSY!!! :banghead:

This was the first time i was babysitting for them; they just moved here about 5 months ago from- guess where- Germany. But when I was talking on the phone with the mom she sounded like she had an Indian accent. :shrug: So I was babysitting for a few hours, and we were putting together puzzels and stuff, and the four year old boy was pulling my hair :wtf: but it was still pretty fun. Kids are awesome. They're so easilly fascinated by the most random, silly things. Makes me wish I didn't have to think about all the bullshit going on in the world... Not that children don't have the potential to be evil, too, but...

1. How rude they ask you to babysit, and then you have to watch the kids, too
Damn children, always ruining stuff.

:silly:

I love people who have houses that are art - far more interesting to be in than the majority of homes.

And you are right - kids are a hilarious riot of fun. Not enough to convince me to have my own, but I love watching other people's kids. Even with the hair pulling!

2. You sound like a great babysitter!!!
Most of the baby sitters we've had just watch TV. You're down playing with the kids.

Damn!

You don't live in New Jersey, do you?

3. I live everywhere.
Because I am God.

But seriously, no, I don't. Sorry. Do you live in the steriotypical industrialized part or the nicer Southern part?

4. I live in Central New Jersey, not far from Princeton.
It's one of the most beautiful places in the world.

I never want to leave, I love it so much.
