And without hesitation, I gladly agreed.
On Wednesday night, the only time my schedule would permit,
I walked over to work for the money I need.
I played with the kids while the parents went out to eat.
They were two, five, and out of control.
It was the slowest two hours I've had to complete,
All for twenty dollars - a decent payroll.
My eyes became itchy and my nose became stuffy
Once I got home and my allergies started to take over.
I went right to sleep because at that point, it was best for me.
I had no idea that these symptoms would occur!
My eyes barely opened when I woke up the next day.
I did not look great that morning, since my allergies took its toll.
When I got asked to babysit again, I did not know what to say.
I had to look at the job as a whole.
The kids were fun and ten dollars an hour isn't bad,
But my health is more important than the task and the money.
In order to avoid disappointing the dad,
I said yes, but there was one thing on which he needed to agree.
Because I am somehow allergic to the family's house,
I asked if I could babysit at another place.
He apologized to me, before telling his spouse.
They agreed, so I can still babysit, just in a cleaner place.
