"Hon, I've got to run now. I left you a present on your bed," Jeff's &
Julia's mom said as she grabbed her keys and hopped into the car.
"Present? I said I wanted the Goo-Goo Dolls album download for my mp3
player, how can you put that on my bed? Oh, she probably bought the
CD!" Julia said rolling her eyes. Her mother never listened to her.
"I've got to be at the Ebsens's to babysit in 20 minutes, I suppose I
could copy the cd to my hard drive & upload it to my mp3 player," she
said running upstairs. She stared at Jeff on the bed and groaned, "Oh,
great, she only heard the doll part. I'm too old for dolls!" Julia
slapped her head, and threw the packaged doll into her backpack.
"Maybe I can exchange it or sell it on eBay?"
Jeff was screaming but being in a plastic box at the bottom of a
backpack under a sweater, his screams were effectively muffled. It
didn't help that Julia had put her ear buds in her ears, and was
listening to her tunes as she walked up the street to the Ebsens'
house. Julia looked at her watch. She slowed her pace, she really
hated babysitting the twins. She shuddered. It had taken her forever
to freeze the bubble gum out of her hair. Then there had been the
time they superglued her fingers together. She sighed. Still she was
earning $20 per hour watching the twin terrors.
Rick and Damon were playing with their new 3D videogames, and waiting
for their babysitter Julia to arrive. She was so uptight. They loved
unnerving her.
