Babysitting, Take 2

[judecorp]

I'm heading out in a few minutes to meet a woman about a potential babysitting gig. (Why oh why do I always get myself into this?) In preparation, I e-mailed the folks I babysat for in Boston just to a) see how they were doing and b) see if they minded if I gave their number away to potential babysittees. Since I stopped babysitting for them rather abruptly due to some behavior problems with the kid and stuff, I wanted to make sure they were still cool with me.

Mama's last line of her e-mail was, "May you find a lovely wallflower of a child to babysit this time." Ha! I guess they don't hate me after all.

(Naw, I wasn't really worried that they would hate me, but things did end rather weirdly when their kid started spitting at me.)

out of context, it sounds a little snarky. but i guess if the rest of the email was nice, then it's funny. :)

Yeah, in the context of the e-mail it was all about how I was awesome and the kid was a handful. (And she was, but hey, she was 3.)
