I always know when I hear those words that I have done something that the parents never do.
The other day when I was babysitting,
the kids were supposed to be eating dinner.
I made myself a piece of bread and butter and gave them macaroni and cheese.
The kiddos asked for a slice of bread and butter,
so I gave them one and the little boy looked at me and said,
"You are the best babysitter ever!"
The next time I babysat,
I told them to brush their teeth.
The little boy asked if he could use his dads toothbrush,
and I saw no problem with that so I gave it to him to use.
After he had brushed his teeth he looked up at me and said,
"You are the best babysitter we ever had!"
Oh dear.

Insulted...
Yesterday I went to Walgreens and the cashier showed me this new candy they were selling.
I told her I would think about it.
When I was checking out,
I placed a bottle of water and some Junior mints on the table.
The lady seemed genuinely offended that I didn't get the candy she had pointed out to me.
She reminded me of the urgency of buying limited edition candy.
I told her I would think about it and return to buy it if I was so inclined.
She just shook her head and handed me my receipt.

Inch worm...
One week last year at school there was an extreme influx of inch worms on campus.
I started taking the long route to class to avoid the trees they tended to attack from.
One day,
I got back to the dorms and I was talking to my friend Kailagh in her room.
I thought she had a stick on her shirt.
But then it started moving.
So I pointed out that she had a bug on her shirt.
She started freaking out and screaming for me to get it off of her.
I don't really like bugs myself,
so I started looking for a piece of paper I could use to transport the inch worm.
When I finally got the bug off of her,
I thought she was going to start crying from the shock.
I don't deal with tears very well so I ran out of the room with the bug to put it outside.
I threw the entire piece of paper outside and started walking up the stairs.
I turned to take one more glance at the bug and it was gone!
I looked down and it was crawling up my jeans.
I ran to get the paper from outside and scraped the bug off my pants.
I watched it this time and made sure it didn't get back on my clothing.
When I went to talk to Kailagh,
she asked me politely to just get the bug off of her next time and then tell her about it.
