The AsCast Jar

Back in the day, I used to get paid to babysit people. It was good money! Somewhere around $8-$10 an hour depending on how many kids there were and how old they were.

So who was it that decided that adults should need babysitting too, hmm??

Seriously! There’s a lot of people I know, even those older than me, who I swear require you to BABYSIT them at every turn! Common sense seems to elude a lot of people nowadays. Little things like tipping your waiter, letting someone go ahead of you when they have two items and you have twenty, avoiding the crazy driver on the road- all forgotten! Then there’s just social etiquette. Don’t sound like a complete arse by correcting someone’s grammar to their face, especially when you don’t know them. Don’t discuss controversial issues like politics or religion with a stranger (for the most part). You don’t post something on the internet expecting that nobody will ever see it. *sigh*

People need to grow up. Seriously, I have no problem correcting a kid’s behavior, because for all the times we like to forget it, they are just kids. If you behave like a child, though, and you’re well past that age- well, all I’ve got to say is pay up. I’m not babysitting for free anymore.
