Anyway, this past week, I told my friend I would watch her kids while she and the hubby went on a date.
Everything was going great -- I put the two little kids down, and the house was clean, and all of a sudden, I look up, and the two oldest kids Hyrum(8) and Savannah(10) are watching a TV show about ghosts. I made them change the channel, but the damage was already done.
During teeth brushing, the conversation went something like this...PS -- both of the kids speak with Aussie accents.
Hyrum: Ah ghosts ree-ool?
Me: No
Savannah: Yes they ah! What about ayn-jools???
Me: Angels aren't ghosts.
Hyrum: ah the ghosts gang teh come through the wools?
Me: No
Savannah: Ayn-jools kin come through wools!
Me: If an angel ever comes through the wall, it will be because Heavenly Father sent them to help you with something.
Hyrum: But ah theh bad ayn-jools???
Savannah: Well, theh's like, Satan.
Hyrum: Is Satan gang teh come through the wools???
Me: Satan is not coming! Everyone calm down.
Savannah: He kin come and poot bad thoughts inya head!
Me: Well, uh...yes he can, but you can tell him to go away, and God will help you.
Hyrum: Oim steel sked!
Me: Do you want Savannah to sleep in your room tonight?
Hyrum: Nohr!!! She'll tell me chainsaw stoories!!
(I look at Savannah, confused)
Savannah: One time, in ah house in Yoo-taw, we went to this haunted house, and theh was thees goy with a chainsaw, and he was sawring body pawts in HOFF!!!
Hyrum: NOOOOOOOOOHR!!!
Me: No more chainsaw stories!
Savannah: Wot? Even Issac wint, and he's jist a baby! Hyrum, dent you remembah?
Me: Hey kids! I think I hear your parents! Run to your beds and pretend you're asleep.
End of conversation. Didn't hear another word. Both kids fell asleep.

That's just hilarious!! Wow. One time when I was babysitting some kids, we were watching some discovery channel thing about ghosts too, & I was getting really scared. But the kids? No way! They were fine. I think I'm just a whimp or something. :)
that is too funny!
I love this. Is Satan coming through the walls? Ha ha so good.
One time when I was babysitting I let the kids watch Michael Jackson's "Thriller" music video and it was no bueno.
ROFL, chainsaw stories! :) And call it baby-farming, G&S style!
