She's had soooo much experience, whereas > I haven't. Here's the part where everyone can laugh. I got a certificate from the state of California, to do official baby-sitting as a JOB! I went to classes, watched videos and changed a diaper on a doll! I passed with flying colors and was ready to go out on my first assignment. Our neighbors, Kate and Tom, wanted us to baby-sit her little boy, Andy (do any of these names ring a bell? :). Guess who accompanied me? Christine! Guess who did all the work AND changed his diaper? Christine! Or like we baby-sat for our former dog groomer Karen. Her little baby Kait-lin needed to be watched and we BOTH went over. Again, guess who did it all while the latter slept on the couch? So, see. I was around the experience but never physically got any! Pitiful, huh? > I never liked kids too much.

Heeeeeeehehehehe.. > > But yeah I understand your fear now Brina. I certainly, with my little > experience, wouldn't wanna be left alone with an infant. I'd learn from > the pro's first. I don't even knwo how to always act or talk around kids. Well, I know how to act sweet and all. Talk softly and smile a lot. I just feel weird doing it, hoping I'm not being watched as I do it! > > And about that 3 Turtles and a Baby thing, remember there was a cartoon ep > where the Neutrinos (not Zach, Kala, and Dask, but the Neutrino leaders) > sent their baby girl to Earth for the Turtles to watch.

I dunno if any of you remember htat, but the ep was called Three > Turtles and a Baby. > > > Lisardo *who doesn't know if she wants kids or not* Oh, no it's "Four Turtles and a Baby." I have it on tape. :) You're thinking of the silly manip I did of the video cover of "Three Men and a Baby." I changed the name to "Three Turtles and a Baby" instead.
