Nanny Pam
************
Yesterday, one of my kids stayed home with his big brother & sister (13 & 17 respectivly) because he was sick. Mom still went to work, because she knew her teenagers could take care of the sick 4 year old.
At 11:10, while I was getting lunch ready for the kids here, my phone rings. It was the sick kid. (Yes, he knows my number
) He says, "Nanny....I'm so sick and Jamie won't feed me! He is being mean to me and he won't get off the 'puter' to feed me. I want an apple but he told me to eat 'nuffin'. Call my Mommy (funny .. he knows my # but not his Mom's work #) and tell her to make Jamie feed me!" He was sounding so sad! 
He broke my heart. "Tomorrow, I'm coming over to your house and you take care of me, OK?"Well I was
because this was so pathetic! His lazy-ass brother & sister totally ignored his request for food! So I called his Mom and we shared a big laugh that he had the smarts to call me for help! He is here today...all better. He told me to come to his soccer game tomorrow, but Jamie & Kasie had to stay home to learn to cook!
4 year olds!
That story reminded me of a time when kwillia had to take care of me and Mikey came over and we all snuggled under a raincoat.
