Babysitter $80

I had the absolutely most pleasant babysitting experience of my life today. I have a tendency to view babysitting as second on my list of "worst jobs ever", right after President, and well before stablehand.
I believe this stems from the neighbors from hell who I babysat for as a child, they had two kids, and infant and a dog with mange. One of their sons would literally swing cats around by the tail. It was a house of horrors.
My cousin's son came over, he is a 3 year old boy, who behaved like an absolute angel today.
Somehow Bellerina and him managed to play together for about 3 hours without any sign of conflict.
They made corn and pineapple soup together, then some banana yogurt with extra eggs in it, they even shared a tricycle.
It was absolutely glorious, the stars must be aligned.
For a brief minute I thought "Wow, I can totally do this, maybe I'm ready for another one"....
Then I remembered that this was 3 hours. 24/7 with two kids I am just not prepared for yet!
