Babysitters Beware Page #5

---

You're making

a huge mess!

Danny!

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Call my dad and tell him

you can't sit for me.

No, Danny.

I'm not gonna do that.

Danny.

Gotcha!

Gotcha.

Danny,

let me out of here.

Call my dad.

I won't do it.

Danny, I'm not gonna do it.

Your dad has to work.

He's going

to a baseball game.

That's work to him.

Danny, your dad

and your mom love you,

but it's a big world

out there,

and they can't

spend every minute with you.

My dad hardly spends

any time with me at all.

How come

they don't wanna be with me?

I'm sure they do, Danny.

They love you.

It's just,

sometimes adults do things

that are impossible

to explain to kids.

Like Algebra.

What's Algebra?

Exactly.

So you're not

going to call?

Sorry, Charlie.

Now, what do you say

you let me out of here,

and we start

cleaning up this mess?

Sorry, Charlie.

Oh, and by the way,

watch out for Iggy.

I think

he's in there with you.

(Screaming)

Danny, you know

I don't like lizards.

Told you I could be bad.

Danny, this is really,

really mean.

Call my dad.

(Exasperated sighing)

(Dialling)

Hi, Mr. Parker.

Danny wanted me to call.

Is everything okay?

Well...

Yeah, I'm still here. I think

Danny wants to talk to you.

Hi, Dad.

Hey, Danny.

What's going on, buddy?

Hi, Dad.

Are you doing Algebra?

Algebra?

Why do you ask about that?

I think it's something

that grownups do

that they can't

explain to kids, right?

I suppose so.

When you're gone

all the time,

is that for something that

grownups can't explain to kids?

That's exactly what it is.

Is something wrong?

I'm just really sorry

I've been acting bad, Dad.

It's just something that kids

can't explain to grownups.

Kind of like Pokmon.

(Chuckling)

Makes sense to me.

I don't like being bad.

I know you don't, Danny.

I just miss

spending time with you.

I miss spending time

with you too.

Okay, have fun at

the baseball game. I mean it.

I will.

Hey, I have a surprise for you.

What?

You're coming with me.

We got to the game

and decided

it just wouldn't

be any fun without you,

so we're coming back

to get you.

You and Mom?

No, Mom's

still at the game.

I'm bringing my client,

so make a good impression, okay?

Okay.

We're only

a couple of blocks away.

I'll see you

in two minutes.

He's excited.

He's coming back

to get me.

That's great, Danny.

I'm sorry, Janelle.

I was a real jerk to you.

Oh, it's okay.

I mean,

I like sour cream.

So when's your dad

coming home?

About two minutes.

BOTH:

Two minutes?!

I'll help you clean up.

Hey, buddy.

Ready to go to a baseball game?

You bet!

Thanks.

Sorry about the change.

Oh, no problem.

It's my pleasure.

Me and Danny always have

a great time. Don't we, Danny?

Thanks, Janelle,

for everything.

(Creaking)

I'll just grab a jacket.

No!

No!

You look really hip

like that.

And a jacket

is just going to

make you look old.

Mm-hm.

Okay.

Yeah, lookin' good.

Let's hit it.

(Creaking)

(Engine starting)

(Creaking)

DANNY:

All right, he got it!

JIM:

Great play!

Did you see that?

DANNY:

Yes!

Thanks for coming back

for me, Dad.

Oh, no problem, buddy.

But your mom had a little

something to do with it.

'Cause you guys

are a team, right?

We're all a team.

Yeah.

I know.

And I'm sorry

I wasn't helping out.

Sorry I wasn't

home that much, buddy.

I'm gonna try

to be home more, okay?

Thanks, Dad.

But you know I still have to

be away a little bit.

It's part of my job.

Algebra, remember?

I know.

But when you go out,

can you make sure that it's

Janelle who stays with me?

I think we can

promise you that, sweetie.

Yeah.

No one else will.

Here comes the ball!

Here it comes!

Catch it, catch it!

(Cheering)

You caught the ball!

That's my boy!

(Laughing)
