and so the baby suffocated...

had i actually sat on it it probably would have, so you'll be glad to know i didn't.
yes. i babysat. and all who participated survived. joy. although it was rather hard trying to get the 9-year-old boy to have a bath. but with the help of his sister we managed. thank goodness she was there. and i got to read him a bed-time story (the crowd goes 'awwww') but this is not a pantomime. the book was the shrek 2 storybook if you were sitting on the edge of your seats wondering...oh the suspense :S
and then i read on the couch for a few hours until the mum came home.
the highlight (or highlights) i'd have to say, would be the 3 cats that they own. so cute! one was a siamese called murphy who was very vocal and wouldn't shut up. but he was very affectionate too. the other two were twins, of that breed that looks like it had a door slammed on it's face. rather ugly, but cute at the same time. there was one with long hair and one with short hair. their names were fluffy and fatty, no prizes guessing which one's which.

so i ended up going to sleep around 1-ish, after reading for a bit in bed. and i got up around 2 this afternoon. i think it was the heat that got me up. now i have to find something to do for the rest of the day. poo.
