Whoever said babysitting was easy must not have ever actually babysat. Here are 9 things that will inevitably happen to you while babysitting.
1. The kids will be on some sort of electronic device when you arrive, and despite their parent's requests to say hello to you, they'll mutter a quiet "hi" under their breath, because Minecraft is more important than human interaction.
2. If there's more than one kid, the parents will warn you that they sometimes get into "little arguments."
3. Ten minutes after the parents leave, the first of many 'little arguments' begins and it's World War 3. Kids are ruthless.
4. The kids will try and get you to let them do something by telling you, "Mommy always lets us." Usually the thing they will want to do will be something destructive to either themselves, the home, or your mental clarity.
5. The kids will know how to work the TV better than you will.
6. At least one kid will cry over something that could have been avoided had they not provoked whatever consequence awaited them. You can't be mad that your brother stole one of your Oreos if you ate his whole piece of pizza first.
7. If you babysit at night, the kids will refuse to go to sleep and once again try and tell you that their parents let them stay up until ridiculous hours.
8. One kid will beg for a cup of water before bed and then turn it into the longest process ever.
9. The parents will come home at least 30 minutes later than they told you they would.
