I'm in class this week and am not getting home until around 7 or 7:30. It hasn't been an issue because Carl has been off, but tonight he heads back to work.
We decided to give J-man some responsibility and let him babysit his sister until I get home. It is only for an hour and a half to two hours, and their dad is just a phone call away. Still, it makes me nervous that my baby boy is babysitting my baby girl. He's 12 though and is old enough to handle it.
As he was heading off to bed last night I said, "Don't forget. You are watching your sister tomorrow night. You'll be the man of the house for a while."
He turns around and says, "Oh, Dad. Will mom cook dinner when she gets home? Or will you do it before you leave? Or maybe I should just order us some pizza."
Carl said (while trying to keep a straight face), "Don't worry about it, son. I'll take care of dinner."
Once J-man got upstairs I don't think Carl and I quit laughing for full five minutes.
He is taking this job SERIOUS.
Zesty.
