So who watched the Superbowl!?! I knew the Giants were gonna win. Sucks bigtime for the Pats, though. It would've been a perfect season! Ah well, what can you do? Most people watch for the commercials nowadays, anyway. Lousy ingrates.

In other news...

I have a baby.

...A baby?

[probablythebutz]

Yep.

[know_sacrifice]

Is it your baby?

[probablythebutz]

What? Heck no!!

Nick came pounding on my door this morning, babbling about a trial and needing someone to watch the baby and something about not drowning him in the sink. He threw me a diaper bag and a bottle and...

I don't really know what I'm doing, to be honest. Cute kid, though.

[know_sacrifice]

...Oh. Oh! He's, uh, that maraihi guy's baby. I know there's, um, a something going on with him right now.

Are you managing all right? D'you need any help?

[probablythebutz]

Oh, that guy? I didn't know he had a kid!

Hey, don't worry about it! I used to watch my baby cousin all the time. I'm a natural!

[know_sacrifice]

I'm pretty sure he does!

Okay! Haha, I got everything I know about babies the same way--little cousins. Many of them.

[probablythebutz]

Hmm. You know, that might make things a little harder...

Was your house full of kids all the time, too?

[know_sacrifice]

What d'you mean?

Not my house, but I've baby-sat a whole bunch of times. Most of my family lives around here, and I'm the oldest, so it was really convenient.

Er...

[probablythebutz]

Nothing, just thinking out loud.

My aunt and uncle used to live with my parents for a while and they had three kids, so there were people in and out of the house all the time.

[know_sacrifice]

...Uh huh. I believe you. No, really!

Gotcha! And the kids all younger than you, right?

[probablythebutz]

Good. I only speak the truth, after all.

Nah, only the one. The other two were busy with "more important things," so I got stuck with babysitting duties all the time.

[know_sacrifice]

.......Dude. Come on. Spill.

Oooooh. Damn. Though I can't wait 'til Ricky gets old enough that I can do that to him~! (He's the oldest after me.)

[probablythebutz]

Spill what!? There's absolutely nothing to spill!

I don't know if my little cousin ever had to babysit anyone, but I hope he did and I hope whoever's kid it was was just as bratty has him! Poetic justice, man! My babysitting days are over!

...Well, except for right now.
