Hi, I'm Ivy.
And I'm Bean.
Our parents leave us with babysitters sometimes.
Once they left me with Nancy, my cruel older sister who locked me up.
Well. We locked ourselves up, actually. But still, babysitters are weird.
You said it! Who are these guys? Teenagers, usually. And what do they do? They text on their stupid phones.
OMG! LOL!
What is LOL, anyway?
I don’t know. Lollipops.
The point is, we could be doing anything and they wouldn’t know it.
Safety, safety, safety! Grownups are always talking about it.
But then they leave you with wackos.
So we made a babysitter test. Just to see if they know what they’re doing. We give the test to the babysitter, and if she passes, great. If she doesn’t, we know we should run away from home or go sit in the basement.
Ivy and Bean Babysitter Test:
- Draw a horse. (A babysitter who can’t draw a horse is not likely to be much fun.)
