It's not too strong to say that I've had a lifelong phobia about taking care of kids. (see previous two posts)
Well, I think it's busted. And after only two nights with three children, my admirable youngest nephews..
Harley, the oldest at twelve, says that it wasn't baby-sitting anyway, it's pre-teen caregiving.
Even so, the experience involved giving out doses of flu medicine, and being judged competent by five year old Franklin to shampoo his hair.
It went well. I did okay, even though the mother-on-duty at the carpool line at the elementary school found mysterious reasons to laugh at me every day.
Now I'm surprised and relieved and short of sleep. And it's Valentine's Day. An excellent day to leave social phobias behind.
