End of February, cause I need to move along these months yo

John's P.O.V

I try to take a nap after class, but Alexander keeps talking to me about some random things.

"Did you know pandas are considered bears?" He says.

"I didn't."

"Did you know the bull whip was the first human invention to break the sound barrier?"

"Nope."

"If you lift a kangaroo's tail off the ground, it can't jump anymore."

"Alexander, I love you, but what the fuck do you want?"

"Is it weird I want to babysit?"

"Babysit?"

"Yeah...babysit. Like you know...play with some kids."

"That doesn't sound pedophilia at all. Why do you want to babysit?" He laughs and I roll over to face him. He has a huge smile on his face.

"Washington asked me to watch his kids."

"George Washington? Why?"

"I said the same thing. He said that he thinks I could use the experience and his normal babysitter moved away or something."

"So why are you telling me random facts when you could have just started off the conversation with, hey, I'm babysitting George Washingtons kids?"

"I don't know! You're making me feel stupid."

"Baby no. You know that's not how I'm trying to make you feel." He pouts and I sigh. "Alexaaaaander." He looks up at me and he still has a pout on his face. I suck my teeth and I plant a kiss on his lips. He smiles.

"Better. But should I tell him yeah?"

"Sure, why not?"

"Would you do it with me?"

"Define 'it' please."

"Um...babysit?"

"Like with children?"

"Oh my gosh John, yes. Where have you been this whole conversation?"

"What am I gonna get out of this night? I grew up with three younger siblings, I know how little kids work and function."

"Great! So you can help me."

"You're so lucky that I love you."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"I feel like there's some sort of law that doesn't allow students to go to their teachers house." I say as we approach Washingtons driveway.

"People have relationships with their teachers that go just beyond teaching. Some even become best friends." I make a face and Alexander laughs.

"Some even become lovers and then the teacher gets arrested."

"Jesus John, what the hell?"

"Sorry. I've never babysat for kids that I don't know, I'm kind of scared."

"Why?"
