Overheard

Monday, Damien was talking on the phone with a new friend.  They were swapping banter as he's an Auburn fan (enough said, huh). Then the conversation turned to the weekend plans.  This is what I overheard....Saturday, Stephanie's going to an all day conference, so I will be babysitting. I piped in, babysitting? You don't babysit your own child. He's said, what else do you call it?  I said you call it taking care of your own child. I then proceeded to look up the definition of baby sit.

baby sit - To take care of a child or children in the absence of a parent or guardian.

Hope he doesn't think he's getting paid for this gig.

Ohhhh well, if he thinks he needs pay...let him know that the smile on his beautiful son's face is all the pay he needs. :)

Thanks dear, for showing one of my many flaws to the internet world. Have you seen all the countries that read this thing? I was hoping to keep my mistake on the down low. (Yes, I admit it was a mistake.) It was a poor choice of words. Dylan told me he forgives me. Maybe you can too.
