cake, candy, mac & cheese, chocolate milk...
...Isn't that enough for a seven-year-old in a 90-minute timespan?
Not according to my young friend Declan, who happens to be the first child I've babysat outside of the family. Other than his insatiable appetite, he's quite a good kid (contrary to bad reports I've gotten from other babysitters), and I'm glad we get along, seeing as I'll be taking care of him and his younger brother all week. Sure, I've lost half my weight in sweat walking him hither and yon to play catch under the hot July sun, but I think I owe it to him.
Seeing as I, you know, accidentally hit him in the face with my orange soccer ball while explaining the chest pass. (My luck all in one painful toss.)
