Barry Babysitting Techniques

'How do you do it?' people ask me all the time. Well, on top of being a completely awesome "Molly Mormon" supermom(what? you didn't get up at 4:30am to read your scriptures and run? for shame!), I also ascribe to a very easy 6 step program.

Step 1: Lots of treats. It keeps 'em quiet(especially if it is extra sticky toffee/caramel)




























Step 2: Entertain 'em. If it is an educational cartoon you get extra points.






















Sometimes after the first two steps the "children" are still fidgety/annoying/loud/there. If this is the case then I 'call in the big guns' with steps 3-6.

Step 3: Restrain the children. Blankets, duct tape...whatever works for you.




























Step 4: Contain the children.




























Step5: Rough them up a bit. Even if it doesn't calm them down, you might feel a little better.




























And FINALLY, for the really difficult cases...

When nothing else works...

Step 6: Trade them for a puppy.
