Rodent-sitting

The thing I enjoy the most about babysitting is that no one would dare suspect what I do to these defenseless little toad-like creatures.

I can mash them, crash down on them, trash their toys and carry on like a rampaging Zilla-god among defenseless children.

And yet, the only thing I have to fear is Children & Youth showing up and taking them into custody so as to increase C&Y's funding streams.

And if that happens, the ultimate defender of children the world over, none other than Jim Hayward will file suit against C&Y on behalf of "the children." There is nothing so exulted in the world of child-saving as that prince of fools--Jim Hayward.

Then again, if all that the children had to look forward to was Jim Hayward, they'd probably be jockeying for position at the ad-hoc gallows.
