I babysat for two different families today, and both were fun and exhausting. The first was a girl from my class and her older brother. She told me that, "Drains make people fall in them." It was a glorious day and we walked to a park near their house and had a great time.

The second was a boy in my class. When I rang the bell he opened the door and screamed, "It's really you! It's really you!" and jumped up and down with joy for five minutes straight. I will never ever forget that sight. We had a great time. He told me that his favorite song was "Feel Like a Woman" and I was think it was really strange if his favorite song was "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman" by Aretha. But it was stranger. At three years old he can go fetch a CD from the drawer, bring it to the CD player in his room and play the music. She he put on his favorite song: "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" by Shania Twain. When the song starts she says, "Common Girls!" My little student looked at me and said, "They say that because they think I'm a girl." I could hardly contain myself.

I got home very late (my second job was 6.5 hours) and was exhausted but excited to tell Matthew all my stories when I noticed a package on the couch. I seriously worship my wishlist! Clive, thank you so much for the movies! I am so excited!!! I too am jumping up and down with joy.
