Amanda, take note (was [HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Babysitting)

[Sheryll Townsend]

Neil, 

You best be careful of saying that you see babysitting
as a bit of a treat. The next thing you know, Amanda
will be sending you airfare to Texas and giving you
full charge of her three children. Right Amanda? It
will prevent her having to use chemical parenting to
get free time to come into chat on Sundays. <g>

Sheryll, who once babysat her niece and nephews for 8
straight days (but got paid for it)
