'kay, so i went over to melodys[1] tonight. shes just recently splitting from her husband brett[2] so they have to move out of co housing. she wanted me to take her kids otis and sylvie for an hour as she talked to someone about renting there place. anyways, she came over the other day to pay me for the hours worth of babysitting which i had prevously decided not to charge her for. melody, not knowing this dropped the 8 dollars off at my door. i went up to her house tonight to give her back the eight bucks and we wneded up talking cause, yaknow, we both are having a shitty '06. anyways, we were sitting in her kitchen, telling funny stories. about crazy battery burring fathers, tatoos of now ex-lovers and about sylvie's love for beer. yes, beer.
apperently, back when melody, brett, otis and sylvie (age 1 and 1/2) lived in vancouver they had some neightbours who were awesome punkrockers and liked to have big partys on friday nights. melody and sylvie get up at 7:30am. outside the kitchen window you can see into the neighbours yard and there is this sea of beer bottles. sylvie in her little diper walks out the door, though the gate and onto the neighbours yard. she bends over and picks up one of the beer bottles and starts drinking it! yuck, there was probably cig. butts and whatever else anyways, melody notices and dashes out the door. whats really funny is that a few months later melody caught sylvie pulling out a couple of beer bottles in the kitchen trash and drinking the remaining drops.
must say, shes the only 1.5 year old i've ever heard of to have a bender at such an age. hah!
