Adventures in Babysitting Page #2

have you done to my kitchen?

It's called baking.

Mom!

Dad promised to take me.

The Sirens are playing the Belles.

I'm sorry, honey.

I got the dates mixed up.

It's not every day your mother's research

is honored by

the National Science Foundation.

Dad will take you to the next derby.

- We promise.

- We promise.

- Can you get our coats?

- Yes.

Mom, you promised

to taste my frosting.

In a minute.

I guess everyone in this family

breaks promises.

Come on, Roller Derby's lame.

You're lame!

Guys, don't start.

Hurry.

Jenny will be here any minute.

Ta-da!

Okay, bumblebee, I can't decide

if I would rather lose feeling

in my toes or my heels.

I told you to go

with the strappy sandals.

Excuse me, young lady.

What are you wearing?

- Lipstick.

- No. Do not be cute.

Those earrings

are very expensive, sweetie.

They're one of a kind.

But Mommy, everyone knows

diamonds are a must

with evening casual.

Off. Now.

If my sister can shave her head,

I should be able to wear diamonds.

What?

Emily Cooper,

what are you doing?

You little tattletale!

You don't have the right head shape

for a buzz cut.

Why don't I give you a buzz cut?

Okay, stop.

Sweetheart, your hair is beautiful

just the way it is.

I don't want you pulling

any of your pranks tonight,

and please be good for Jenny.

I'm too old for a babysitter.

Me, too.

Katy Cooper, freeze.

I thought diamonds were forever.

Oh, no.

This is not happening.

- Hello.

- Hey, Lola, what's up?

No, this isn't Lola.

I just... I have her phone.

Welt, are you coming

to the toga party tonight?

No, I don't wanna come to a toga party.

Toga, toga, toga!

Ugh!

Hey, dude, what's your name?

You're so cute.

Alison, what was that?

Lola? Helen Anderson.

So nice to meet you.

Please come on in.

I see that you've met Alison.

- So sweet.

- Yes.

So my niece was supposed to sit,

but she flaked because of

some silly concert in the city.

So how long have you known

our Jenny?

Oh, um...

Since forever.

We share a love

of geometry and children.

- Oh, how unique.

- Yeah.

Lola, this is Bobby.

He has to finish 100 cupcakes

for his junior chef

competition tomorrow.

- Taste my frosting.

- Sure.

Oh, dig that color, dude.

- It's the melted gummy worms.

- Smart.

Oh, Bobby, you didn't.

Mom, all the great chefs improvise.

I'm never gonna win

with ordinary cupcakes.

It's not bad,

but you could kick it up a notch.

I know. It needs something.

I just have to find

the perfect ingredient.

Now, Trey is upstairs, grounded,

Alison is sulking

because of the Roller Derby,

and this little precious baby girl

is Lady Marmalade,

aren't you, my precious?

Yes, you are.

Now, she has a very big day tomorrow

at the Kennel Club,

so she needs complete relaxation,

and no stress.

No stress for my baby.

Now, very important.

The stove and the hot tub

are strictly off limits when we're gone.

Make sure that Bobby

returns the kitchen

to its pre-cupcake tidiness.

Tidiness? I'm creating.

And you would be my personal hero

if you could just toss in

a couple of loads of laundry.

- Laundry. I got it.

- Yes. Thank you, my dear.

Okay, here's the invite and my number.

- Oh, hi. I'm Hal Anderson.

- Lola.

- Nice to meet you.

- Hi.

Oh, no, we are not taking my

brand-new freshly detailed SUV

into the dirty, grimy city.

We're taking the sedan.

- You're the boss.

- Thank you.

Okay, Lola, here is my cell,

and the place we're going to be tonight.

Now, are you sure

you can handle three kids?

Oh, my gosh, what am I saying?

Of course you can.

You were recommended by Jenny.

- She taught me everything I know.

- Great.

- Hi, Jen. Come on in.

- Hi.

Oh, Mr. Cooper, that's a nice tux.

Okay, honey. Honey.

She did it again.

- That's enough.

- Katy, sweetheart, what did I tell you

about glittering your father?

He needed a little bling.

Okay, don't you worry.

We will clean that right up.

You guys just go and have a great time.

Thank you, Jenny.

Now, would you please

say hello to Jenny?

Honestly. Look it, I left money

so you guys can go for ice cream.

Emily is banned from

doing anything to her hair.

- Katy is banned from my jewelry box.

- Great.

All right, am I forgetting anything?

My three-star party survival kit.

Mints, safety pins and emergency cash.

- Take care of our babies.

- I'll guard them with my life.

- We're going out.

- I know.

- Run! Just kidding.

- Yes.

Ooh, hot tub.

Hot tub out back?

- Yep.

- Cool.

Jailer Swift on the attack!

Whoa!

Out of my kitchen!

Fire! Lola, help!

Fire, fire. Help! Hurry.

Fire! Fire!

- What?

- Fire!

- Put out the fire!

- Uh, fire extinguisher?

Come on, quick!

- This is bad!

- Get the fire extinguisher.

Hello. Lola?

- No, AJ.

- AJ Anderson? It's Jenny Parker.

Why are you answering my phone?

It's the babysitter's phone.

- Babysitter?

- Yeah.

Your friend. I think her name's Lola.

AJ, sweetie, could you please

put the babysitter on the phone?

- She's busy.

- Doing what?

Putting out the fire.

The fire?

AJ, don't panic.

I'll be right there, okay?

Kids, we're going to the Andersons!

Trey Anderson?

Katy, let's go!

Katy, I mean now!

Come on, hurry!

Quick, quick, quick!

That was awesome.

Wait here, don't move.

I gotta get my camera out of the car.

Camera?

Hey, let me in, you little punks.

Unlock the door!

Unlock the door!

What in the world is going on here?

- Uh...

- What is on fire?

- Hey, girl, what's up?

- Girl?

What are you doing?

Babysitting. Obviously.

I can't believe this.

This is going to take forever to clean up.

Yeah, it Will.

You kids better get crackin'.

Us?

Hey, where's Trey?

Who's Trey?

He's searching

for tickets online?

Psychic Rockets tickets

at Tiny's Pawn Shop?

- He's going to a concert?

- That's awesome.

How could you let a 14-year-old kid

sneak out into the city?

I'm sorry, how is this my fault?

Babysitting rule number one.

Never take your eyes off the kids! Ever!

Okay, this is bad.

My name, my reputation,

my entire college future

is just down the drain.

Think, Jenny, think.

He has to get the tickets, right?

I'll drive into the city

and bring him back myself.

I know the city. I can get him.

You're the one who lost him.

Relax, girlfriend,

I'm just trying to help.

I'm not your girlfriend.

I'm not your friend, okay?

I don't even know you.

You don't? My mom thinks you do.

Uh, I mean, I was joking.

'Cause, like, I do know her.

We're just not besties.

Why don't we all go get Trey?

No. Your parents would kill me.

They'll kill you when they find out

a total stranger is watching us.

And who's gonna tell them?

Anybody have to go to the bathroom?

No, we can't.

Are you gonna fit all of us in your car?

Okay, but...

- I'll drive.

- I'll drive.

- I'll drive!

- I'll drive! Thanks.

Okay, we just got passed by a bicycle.

I am not adding a speeding ticket

and a stolen car to this disaster.

Can we stop

at the grocery store?

No, I told you. We're going to get Trey,
