As it turned out, I was babysitting this afternoon. Not that big a deal, except that everyone left with out telling me. Anyway, William walked in and asked if I would go play with him outside.
Uh, no? I’m not that loving of a sister.
Then he modified his question and asked if I would stay out there while he played outside.
That I can do.
So I collected my Chinese homework and followed him into the driveway. He pulled out his bike and helmet and started up and down the street.
I got through translating half of the sentence He always reads before going to bed when I heard a bloodcurdling scream.
William had taken a fall and ripped up his leg.
Now, William is almost as big as I am, so how the heck was I supposed to take him up the hill? Luckily the neighbor heard the screaming and came to rescue us.
Yup, that’s how I wanted to spend my afternoon- disinfecting skinned knees.
