Not to mention the large assortment of movies! They have every single V.H.S. tape ever made! I love babysitting over there. I can watch the kids, and watch what everwhatever movie I want. I never ask them, what it is they actually do for a living, so I just assume they work for a large banking firm or something. After seeing all the boxes of canceled checks, it just seems obvious. Besides, every time I would find a twenty dollar bill, while helping them to unpack, they would let me keep it. So, I really don't think very much more about it.
Today the children are being watched by their aunt. No one knows where their parents' are, they have been gone for several weeks now with no word. Everyone here sees it as normal behavior for them; just "business," I guess. So, I'm sitting here on the floor in my second story room, setting up my board game of Risk. It's about eleven thirty in the morning and there is no one else here except for my mother and myself. She's downstairs in the kitchen making raspberry pancakes, as she always does. My three older brothers have gone down to the Soccer Academy to play some video games; the same thing they do everyday. They won't let me go with them, they think I'm "too little" and just a "tag along". However, because I stayed home, my brother, who is ten months my senior, promised to play Risk when they get back. .
It is very quiet outside now, seems kind of strange, especially living so close to a busy freeway. I can't even hear the dog next door barking, all day long, like he usually does. Maybe it's just me. I'm too involved right now, trying to figure out a way to cheat. I'm not really concerned with what is going on around me. How can I conquer more continents, without my brother knowing?. I can't seem to figure it out!. Just as well, it wouldn't be a very nice thing to do to my brother anyway. I really wish they'd get home soon!. I'm finished setting up the game, and now I'm getting bored!.
