I think it’s safe to say we’re fired.

Babysitters of the Year

Yesterday Eric and I babysat my nephew (aka “The Boog”) for the entire day while my sister and brother in law were on Long Island. We put him to bed at 7:00pm.

Um, YOU’RE WELCOME.

How To Feel Young

Get some slightly older siblings who don’t understand technology.

Andrew (only 5 months older than me, aka MY AGE, by the way) repeatedly insists, “I don’t do apps. Everything an app does I can do on the internet.”

No.

He also claims “I don’t know how to use a flash drive because they didn’t exist when I was in college,” but that’s just him lying, which is a topic for another post.

Unfortunately, this attitude has married my sister, who at least understands that she doesn’t understand anything, but isn’t exactly determined to learn.

The result is this.
