Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for October 09, 2024

And you have to tip heavily for the kid kleanup… or not go back until the staff has all moved to other jobs.

When the baby sitter wasn’t available we always had pizza delivery and the kiddos fell asleep early because stuffed and happy.

I’m sure her sister would be able to babysit.

Four other people in the house and not one of them would watch the brat?

Le Café d’amour—ah, yes, I remember it well!

Family restaurants abound. There is a lot of territory between Le Cafe L’Amour and McDonalds. Go to a family restaurant that’s a bit noisy and prominently stocks high chairs.

When a woman says she can’t find a babysitter, she has a control problem and a monster of a kid as a result. Dump her and the kid.

Keep your eye on the prize, Wally.

There are restaurants open that time of morning?

Hmmm…so that would leave the sister and mom to do the babysitting…most likely they are peeking out the window curtain holding their breath! They must enjoy helping Wally get used to having Alex in his life … haha.

I think her excuse is a cop-out.
