First Money I Earned

Last night I went babysitting for some family friends/kind-of-coworkers, with their adorable daughter Camille <3 Arrived at 7, played with legos, Mr. Potato-head, books, etc. We ate pizza, some Nerds candy, and finally, when I noticed she was STILL awake, sent her to bed (I wasn’t given a time for her bed, but told that she would probably conk at 9. Ha. One hour more….) Then, struggled to stay awake. Until 12. Because this week exhausted me so much.

And I got paid.

I don’t know why I am so ridiculously happy with my first wage/whatever, but I kind of just had my first job, right? At the age of 17? Dear Gods, that’s so ridiculously late. I was going to babysit for the first time at the age of 14!! (My plan when I lived in Boston).

Alright, I’m off to work now. T’chao!
