(As transcribed from the text messages I received last week while traveling for work.)
And then the babysitter said, “I KNEW they were being too quiet while I was putting away dishes. Jack let Micah into the bathroom and they’d turned the tub into a luge.”
And then the babysitter said, “Geez, they’re sneaky! Needless to say…Early bathtime.”
And then the babysitter said, “Let’s just say there was a moment where I felt like General Custer.”
And then the babysitter said, “Btw, do your boys often pee on one another in the bath?”
*Sigh* OK, tell me I’m not alone; your turn…

Ha! You’re right!
Hahahaha! Thanks for the smile
Yea, it’s a lot funnier from a distance!
And then the babysitter said, “Minus the fascination with shower gel, you’re boys are pretty sweet! Lots of love and tight hugs!”
Babysitters who clean up loads of shower gel in the luge-tub are the BEST!
Haha, this is hilarious. I’m sorry that I don’t have any good lines from babysitters, but I can think of plenty of things I said TO babysitters as a child.
“No, I do not want to bunny hop to bed, I want to watch Doogie Howser.”
“Eww, you have sideburns.” (the last time she ever sat for us)
And we tormented my poor British sister-in-law, who was kind enough to watch the three of us, ranging in age from six to six months, while my parents were on vacation, by repeatedly calling her “Cross Mummy” in our best British accents, and then collapsing in a fit of giggles.
Children are so sweet, aren’t they?
“Um… she spit on me.”
Nice. Very sorry about that. (Really, what DO you say to your babysitter about that?)
My delightful tidbit from yesterday: I was happy the “log” on the carpet wasn’t soupy. A certain tyrant of mine loves to streak. Yesterday, he surprised himself. It’s funny how they get all concerned about it. Oh, and he peed all over the entertainment center, into the drawer of cd’s – yes, i still have thos – at the same time. Awesome.
Ah, motherhood! How you humble us!
Hilarious!
We don’t have a babysitter, so we don’t get stories like this. Once we find one, though, I’m sure we’d have similar stories to share. :/
I can’t say that’s ever happened here…we only have one boy, and all of our kiddos bathe separately!
oh my dang, those are too funny. you have a gem of a babysitter, LJ!
Don’t I know it!!
haha this totally cracked me up!
Thanks for sharing . . . I’m pretty sure mine will be just like that once she’s old enough to get into actual mischief! 
It utterly defies the imagination what they get up to!!
And then the househelp said… and then Nathan locked me out on the balcony…
and then he locked himself in his bedroom…
Oh, yikes! Now, there’s a mama’s worst nightmare!
“Btw, do your boys often pee on one another in the bath?” Haha! I almost snorted a little coffee through the nose at that one… I held back just in time though, so don’t worry
Yea, I should have had a disclaimer on that one
But in their defense, they do not pee on one another when I am supervising. Apparently, they save it all for the babysitter! yikes.
