Today is my first day in New Jersey and my mom is forcing me to get a job cause I'm 17

Mom- Delilah your almost 18 you need a job

Me- mom it's my first day here can't i do it tomorrow just let me sleep

Mom- Delilah I swear if you don't get up right now you will never see your phone again and will get an ass whopping of a lifetime

I immediately got out of bed and hopped in the shower when i was done I let my hair dry and put on a red v-neck crop top high waisted black jeans and a sweater then did my makeup and when my hair dried into its curly state I then put 2 twists in the sides so I put on my beanie then grabbed my phone and walk to the board walk which wasn't very far from my house. As I'm going through I realize they are mainly bars that need help then I come across a bulletin board that has help wanted posters and see a babysitter one for a 2 year old which shouldn't be that bad so I sit down and call the number waiting for an answer

Me- hi my name is Delilah and wanted to know if there was still an opening for a babysitter position

Lady- sure is how old are you

Me- I am currently 17

Lady- well would you like to come by tomorrow and I can interview you here I'll text you the time and address is that ok

Me- that's perfect I just moved here so I don't have much to do and my schedule will almost always be open

Lady- well that's just wonderful and my name is Lisa

Me- well than you so much Lisa for the opportunity you will not regret this

Lisa- I hope so I'll talk to you tomorrow honey

Me- again thank you so much bye

Lisa- your welcome Hun bye

I hung up and called my mom

Me- hey mom I found a babysitter position for a 2 year old and have a interview tomorrow

Mom- that's great sweetie when will you be home cause I'm cooking dinner right now

Me- text me right before dinner is done and I'll be on my way home
