The neighbor asked me to babysit her kids every afternoon during the week.
They get home from school at 4:30 and I have to watch them until 7 p.m.
I own $20 every day for helping out with the kids. I use the money to buy CDs, clothes, and food. My friends and I like to hang out at the park. I decided to take the kids to the park last Tuesday after school. It was extremely hot and humid that day. The kids were miserable and they started complaining about it shortly after we got to the park. Normally I would have made them play, but I was very warm as well. We decided to go back to the house early. By the time we got back from the park, all I wanted to do was sit in front of the AC and relax for a while. I made the kids work on their homework while I sat in the living room with the ceiling fan on high and the AC air vent pointed in my direction. The cold air felt really good and I could feel my eyes starting to get tired. When my boss got home from work, I was asleep on the couch and the kids were still sitting at the table doing their homework. The lady didn’t say anything to me, but I definitely felt bad for falling asleep while I was supposed to be caring for her children. Someone else might have fired me and given the job to someone else in the neighborhood.
