Babysitting for 7-Year Olds

Sydney:  Mama, can I babysit Jack while you scrapbook?
Me:  Sure!
Sydney:  Yay! 
5 minutes pass...Sydney:  Mama, Jack needs his diaper changed!
Me:  Well, you're the babysitter, change him!
Sydney:  Can you lift him up on the changing table?
Me:  Sure!
Sydney:  Mama, he stinks.  Can you take the diaper off and wipe him?
Me:  Sure! (proceeds to change diaper)
Sydney:  Thanks.  (in sing-song voice to Jack) Okay Big Boy, let's go over to  your bouncy chair.
10 minutes pass...
Sydney (now in my scrap room):  Whatcha doin' Mama?
Me:  Writing a blog post.  Where's Jack?
Sydney:  He's asleep.  He's chillin' like a villain.

Figures...she gets $5 and a sleeping baby.
