The Job

I rode my bike in the hot sun to the house I was babysitting at. I parked my bike outside the front porch and knocked on the door. The woman walked to the door and let me in. Her brown hair was in a very messy bun and she looked as if she had been crying. "This is my phone number, Lizzy's doctor and dentist's phone number. She is allergic to strawberries and peanuts, no TV after 7pm, and don't give her any sugar", she said as she brushed her hair. "I'm going to my friends wedding and I need you to babysit her for two days okay?"

So the devil has a name.I nodded.

Just as she left the devil herself appeared.

"Did ya miss me?" She chimed with an evil grin. "You won't last two hours with me before you go crazy wishing you hadn't taken the job."

I smiled and said nothing. I looked into the playroom and gasped. One, it was the messiest room I had ever seen, two, it was enormous! I had to get this clean but how? Then I remembered the devil (Lizzy).

"I bet I can beat you at something," I said with pure confidence.

"Oh yeah well I bet I will win," she snapped back

"Whoever clean up the most mess wins," I declared

"What's in it for me?" She asked like I didn't think it through

"I'll leave, but if I win you have to do another hour of cleaning with me.

We declared it a deal and started the timer.

I started with the costumes scattered along the linen floors. She had all of the costumes in the world. Wonder Woman, Fiona from shriek, everything. I then cleaned up the mounds of rubbish and put them in the bin. After all the cleaning the timer stopped. I looked around. I had won by miles.

"Sorry you lose," I said teasing her.

"It's not fair!. You took all the easy stuff to clean," she yelled.

"You snooze you lose," I answered back.
