MONDAY MORNING…..
Dina: Mommy…a babysitter is coming today?
April; Yes sweetheart, Mommy hired a baby sitter for you so Mommy can go to work okay?
Sharon; But mommy, will they take us to school and pick us up?
Dina; Will they love us like you do mommy?
April: kissing both of her girls, They will take you and pick you up and they, whoever it is will love you. You are my angels and I want you always to be on your best behaviors.
Dina; Yes mommy. Kissing her cheek.
April: Remember please and thank you and wash your hands always when you come home from school and when you are done playing and before meals. After homework too okay?
Sharon; Okay mommy we will. We remember what you taught us and our prayers too.
April: Yes sweetheart. Have fun and enjoy yourself and no sweets unless I give them to you or I tell you the sitter can okay?
Dina; Not even a cookie?
April: You can have your normal cookies and milk when you get home each day okay?
Sharon; Okay mommy we will promise.
April: Don’t forget your naps too okay?
Dina; Yes, mommy we won’t.
April: Well the sitter should be here any minute. I love you babies.
Sharon; We love you mommy. Both girls kiss their mother and go to get ready for school.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
April; That must be the babysitter. Hurry up girls, mommy’s got to go!! She walks to the door and opens it. Hel- her eyes widen.
Man at door: Hello, smiling, Next Of Kin sent me over, I’m your new babysitter. I’m Michael. Michael Jackson.
April: Stunned, thinking a man for my little girls, oh shit. No way! Fuck, I can’t miss work and I need the sitter. Sighing, I’ll give him a week and see. Oh yes, o-okay come on in. I- I have to be honest with you. I wasn’t expecting a man for my girls. But, I’m really in a bind here. So.. Please follow me. I’ll give you the quick tour then I have to run off to work. Babies!! Come and meet your new sitter.
The two girls run out from their room all dressed and ready for school. All that is left is for them to have breakfast which is on the table. They come into the livingroom and stop suddenly when they see the man standing there.
Dina; Where’s the baby sitter mommy? Frowning
