If Leebird Calls

If Leebird calls me, I know that she wants something.
A break from her children, a car ride to somewhere, something.
I do not believe she has ever called me for any other reason.
I wonder what her children are learning as they watch and listen.
Do they think you only call your neighbor when you need something?
Feeling sorry for them, I agree once again to babysit.

Now, with all you have to do, that's the last thing you need to be doing, babysitting a needy person's children! OTOH, they probably benefit greatly by spending some time with you.

I love kids; I will babysit them whenever I can get them.
