Mean. Mean I tell you.
I am a MEAN Aunt Tammi.
Yes, yes I am.
Today is a new adventure. I'll be watching 2 1/2 year old Junior today. Just him and me.
Did I ever mention I have this intense fear of a child hurting themselves on my watch? Yeah, I do. Oh - it's never happened and I plan on keeping it that way.
We've already had our first "incident". And his parents are STILL here. He wanted to climb. A step stool. He's not allowed. But I happened to be the closest adult, so I got to tell him no.
Didn't go over so well. Let me just say.
Oh - and I did tell you he's teething right? Cranky? Sorta.
But I'm sure we'll have a fine time today. We'll play outside a bit. We'll watch some movies. And I know EXACTLY when nap time is. ;-)
But I'm sure the most common phrase I'll hear all day is "Mean Aunt Tammi".
And I'm alright with that.

Posted by: oddybobo at June 8, 2006 08:28 AMThe meaner you are, the easier it is to watch the kids.
At least that's my philosophy.

My nieces and nephew still talk about the time I put them to bed at 7:30pm on a summer night. They were all fighting and being loud. I was in charge. End of argument. I must have made an impression if they are still talking about "Mean Uncle Jerry" 20-some odd years later.
Yea right...I tell him no all the time and he never tells me I'm mean....he just tells me
"go in corner, bad boy"
LOL
