My cousin

Yesterday I went over to my cousin's house to babysit her while her parents went out and celebrated their anniversary. So, I went over at around 3 in the afternoon, and my uncle and aunt would be back the next day at 3 in the afternoon, so naturally I slept over at their house. When I got there my cousin, we'll call her Noel, had just woken up and I thought that this would be pretty easy. By the time it was 6 I was pretty tired. I went to bed thinking, 'oh my goodness, I have to watch Noel for 6 more hours tomorrow. I don't know how parents do this every day.' This morning when I woke-up Noel and I played until her parents got home. It was insanely tiring and now I have a whole new perspective on parenting.
