Hey boys, I've got a task for you. James is looking for a baby sitter and I thought you would be the ideal candidates. In exchange, you can pick something to do for the next few days. Something reasonable! I don't want to hear skipping school for a week to play video games.

I've asked the boys to babysit James' daughter. Could you keep an eye on them if they do?

	What's wrong with skipping school for a week, the week before Christmas, especially when one of our teachers is currently a little kid? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	What Bill means to say, is that we would be happy to watch James' child. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay, that's fair. How about.... A three day slumber party at the movie theater/arcade? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's like barely any different from what we do all the time anyway. I also think winter break is a totally reasonable request. What if we take a week off school to play video games AND do stuff outside? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Didn't Mr. Adler put a time limit for you, Richie? Hahaha. Yeah, you're right, we should at least get a nice long winter break! But it shouldn't be dependent on watching Mr. Bond's kid. We got two weeks off in Derry. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You all can have your winter break. But just don't want you to spend it all in front of a computer or a screen. Video games AND outside stuff is acceptable. And no, I do not agree to ten minutes of outdoor activities and the rest is spent playing computer games. You know all know me better than that. Don't try to trick me.

	~~I don't know you that well~~Video games do help with hand-eye coordination. Just sayin'. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If we're gonna babysit, we need lots of info. How old is James' kid? Any allergies? Any medications? Are we going to James' place or is he bringing the kid to us? We need to kid-proof shit if it's here. And if we're going there, we need to know where all the emergency supplies are. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Of course. I'm sure they'll do fine though. How old is she? (Reply to this)

	Sure, I can do that. How do the boys feel about babysitting? (Reply to this)
