After this past weekend I now have a newfound respect for babysitters.
Up until that point I had never taken care of any kids before.
When my uncle flew into the city with his 3 children all under the age of ten, I now had the option to. I had no idea at the time, but these 3 kids were seriously nuts. Almost as soon as the adults left the household to go have breakfast plus drinks they went from calm plus respectful to loud plus boisterous. Despite my best efforts to calm them down when things started to get out of control it did nothing. Later in the evening the youngest child started to whine about how hot it was inside plus that I needed to turn the air conditioning device up. From my perspective the air conditioning was doing a great task of keeping the household cooled down. Him being hot was due to the endless running plus screaming he happened to be doing. Nevertheless, this kid insisted that I turned the air conditioning device up to the maximum power or else he was going to. After I said no to him after that final threat this hellraiser of a child walked over to the thermostat on the wall, plus ripped it completely off! As you might imagine, I was so alarmed plus shocked that all I could do was stare with my jaw dropped. Happily, when the adults arrived back to the household a few hours later they all got their punishments. To be even-handed, I know that I was the one who was punished the most from having to watch those crazy kids.
