Babysitters ....

Babysitters.
Ever had a babysitter?
We had the worst babysitter as a kid.  
She had 4 kids. 3 boys and a girl. They were all very mean, snotty, and did what they wanted during the day.  
My baby brother, had the best babysitter though.  You know, because he was fed golden shit on a golden platter. 
My sister and I went to a babysitter that had about 12 kids. We ate on a plastic kitchen play set, next to the trash can. When we'd arrive at like, 5:30am, we weren't allowed to sit on the couch at all. It was "broke." She and her kids were the only ones who could sit on it. We got sent downstairs, on a concrete floor, with a round woven rug. An hour later her youngest son would come downstairs, with a butcher knife, usually. He would hold it up to our necks. Told us not to move. He'd try to have sex with us. We'd refuse him, and he'd go upstairs. We weren't allowed to come upstairs till 7:30am, when the babysitter would be awake. She basically sat on the, "broken" couch, watch soap-operas, and order us older kids around. She and her husband were going through a divorce at this time. And the bathroom was always messy. Like after her husband would use it, he'd leave it a mess. Like in the toilet too. She wouldn't let us use the toilet upstairs for a while after he'd leave. 
She would start the littles lunch, then sit down. 
Then we were incharge, we'd finish the lunch, and put the littles down for a nap. Then us older kids would have to leave. Either go to ht e elementary school and play, or not be seen or heard. 
My sister and I were the only oldest two there.
During this "nap time" when it was summer, shed lay outside and work on her tan, or sit in garage and smoke. We weren't allowed back there till nap time, or her tan time was over. She lived right in front of a grade school, One time I came back to the house early, the daughter of our sitter saw me, ran outside, stopped me and said, "get your ass back to the school" I went back, and found a playground equipment and fell asleep.  
We did her daughter's paper route. She would pay us for that. 
There was a really neat mall down the road, and she would send one of us to go and get her cookies. She'd pay for me to get one cookie as well.  
She really wasn't a good babysitter.
