The real challenge of babysitting lies not in protecting a child's safety, or even in amusing the child (because the child can play with an empty toilet paper roll for half an hour and be 100% happy). The real challenge lies in food regulation: how much food can I get away with eating?
There's this bag of assorted small cookies in the pantry across from me. Since I started, I've been taking some every night. Its started off with me taking five or so, and I have limited myself to one tonight because I don't want to be found out of quite literally stealing candy from a baby. You may be saying, its just a cookie; have some self-restraint! And its true, it is just a cookie, and truth be told, I'm not even hungry (because I've been eating the dinner that was left for me). But I have a disorder where I have to eat cookies if they are around. Call it a poison test. I'm taking one for the team.
This is the challenge of babysitting. Stealing.
