Daily Excerpt: Mommy Poisoned Our House Guest (CB Leaver) - The Babysitter
excerpt from Mommy Poisoned Our House Guest
When I was smaller, Mommy sent me
to church every Sunday morning. The church van always came at 9:15 to pick me
up, and Mommy was always rushing to get me ready on time.
One Sunday morning a man came to
the door at 9:10. Mommy could not believe that the van was five minutes early.
She always counted on those five minutes to get me ready. Usually, no one came
to the door, so she figured that they must have been sitting there for a while.
She started to hurry.
“Just a minute,” she said,
leaving the door open. She quickly grabbed my suit coat and put it on me.
“I just have to comb his hair; it
will just be a second,” she called to the man at the door as she darted into
the bathroom after a comb. A few seconds later, I looked mighty spiffy.
“Almost ready,” she called out
again, as she rushed upstairs to get my Bible and offering.
Whew! She had never got me ready
so fast.
“Here he is,” she said, out of
breath, as she pushed me out the door.
I looked up at a tall man in
blue. I did not know him, so I just stood and looked at him, and he looked at
Mommy.
“Ma’am,” he said, now that he
could get a word in edgewise. “All I require is a signature.” He was an
express mail postman with a package for Mommy.
A friend of Mommy says that every time she sees an express mail truck now she thinks that there goes Mommy’s babysitter. She also said that Mommy was not going to get Mother of the Year Award that year.
Conclusion:
Not everyone can be Mother of the Year!
