I Should Quit Worrying So Much

After having a babysitter last night, Joshua tells me this morning, "Jane [not her real name] has a friend named Jeremiah." My mom mind starts racing with all kinds of images of teenagers gone wild, thinking the babysitter I trusted had invited her boyfriend over while I was gone. "Who's Jeremiah?" I ask suspiciously. Joshua replies, "He's a bullfrog. He's a good friend of hers."

Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine.
Never understood a single word he said,
but I helped him drink his wine.


Joy to the World.

And she sounds like a great babysitter if she's singing that to your kids!!!

Hee hehe oh ho ho that was funny.

I used to sing Cole Porter songs to my charges when I was a sitter. Put 'em right to sleep. Had to skip over/alter the bits about sex and cocaine, though . . .
