You guys know that I do temp. work from time to time. Well today I got a call from trusty old TRC saying that they had a one day job for me if I could do it today. Needless to say, I took it.

It was at a place called KinderKoncepts and I had NO IDEA what to expect. When I got there, they told me that I would be entering data on potential child actors into a huge database of child actors. What I ACTUALLY did, was enter data into the database for the 10 kids that showed up to the big casting call today (I'm told it was poorly advertised; usually they get hundreds of kids) and, since the parents were told that the casting call would take all day, I had to BABYSIT 7 kids for the rest of the day until their parents came back.

These kids were precious. Little Weston had me in stitches with his (or maybe her) imitation of an alligator in Katrina ravaged New Orleans. Unfortunately, little Aundrea MaKenna (she insisted I call her Aundrea MaKenna, her first and middle name, or she wouldn't let me change her diaper) was the only black child in the bunch and Weston kept "attacking" her, "cause mummy says dats what al-gaytas do to blacksies." Believe me, it was funny. The male twins, Tyler and Tayler gave me the sweetest picture of their family: T and T (that's what their dad called them) were standing in front of their house while their dad was sitting in a car with their mom (I think) and they were both waving at some other lady who was hanging from a tree by her neck. She was smiling though. That was actually pretty odd. The female twins, Katelynne Marie and Suz (pronounced Sooz), did each other's make-up and then tap-danced while humming the theme songs to Suddenly Susan and Victoria's Closet, but they called them "daddy's sexy songs." I don't know what that means. By far my favorite kid to babysit today was little Sassy. That's right, she IS every bit as cute as her name and she is a JEWEL. When her dad came to take her home she kicked him in the shin and said that I was her new daddy. Isn't that sweet? And all because I gave her a cupcake and told her she had the pretty hair. She said, "Daddy says my hair is limp and lifeless, will you be my new daddy?" I said no, but that she could stay with me for a while if she needed some time away from her daddy. Keep your fingers crossed!
