The Great Highs Of Babysitting

(One of my cousins has a couple of young kids, including a six-year-old girl who likes to boss people around. When she realizes that I’ll let her, and that I’m pretty strong, she takes a shine to me.)

Cousin’s daughter: “Put me on your shoulders!”

Me: “Okay!” (I do so. I am 6’3″.)

Cousin’s daughter: “Whoa! This is so cool! I’m taller than everyone! I’m-” *suddenly clings very tightly to my head*

Me: “You all right?”

Cousin’s daughter: “We’re really high up. Don’t look down.”
