Today and yesterday I took care of my friends’ 10 year old kid. It was a new step in our relationship since I never took care of their kid before. I’m happy they were able to trust me and me and the kid had a good time. Glad I could give the parents some them time. 

We did a lot of shopping yesterday and I got to use up my Sephora points to get them something so their mom didn’t have to spend any money. And we got smoothies and fries. Today we went thrifting, swimming and got bubble tea.

Kid is in bed now sound asleep, I let them stay up 30min past their bedtime. 

I was able to reflect on my values which was great. As an adult I feel like I know most adulting things like exchange rates, taxes, the “value” of most things. But explaining all these things to a 10 year old kid was interesting.

As my friend Richard says “You don’t rear children, you rear yourself”.

such a wholesome babysitting story. 

it’s got levels of growth: you as a person with responsibility, the child with well just being a kid
