Taking Elle into my arms out of her booster seat and carry her inside to her room setting her down on her bed. I quietly shut the door, and knock on Cailey's door. "Come in!" She yells through the door. She's sitting there on her bed with her laptop obviously on her lap. "I need you to watch Elle and Dani until Paul comes home, I have to go to work." I tell her, her reply is "You mean I have to babysit my little brother and sister until Dad comes home then I have to babysit Elle, Dani, and Dad?" "Yea, sorry honey. Love You!" I yell scurrying out of the house and to my car. ~3 days Later~ I get out of the car pissed as it is, until I hear my wonderful family fighting. I stomp inside to find my husband and oldest daughter fighting about god knows what, and my two youngest kids having a food fight in the kitchen. "HEY!" I yell effectively getting all of their attention. "SHUT UP, SIT DOWN, AND LISTEN!" I yell at them and they scurry to the couches. "Why is it that I'm gone for three days and it's like World War III? Now, Dani, tell me why were you and Elle having a food fight?" I say deadly calm. "Well, I accidentally through food at her and then she threw food at me and it went back and forth like that." He tells me looking guilty as well as Elle. "Go get yourselves as cleaned up as you can, I'll be up there in a minute" I tell them and they go upstairs to their rooms. "Cailey, Cailey only, tell me what happened." I say to them both giving a pointed look at Paul. "I'm going out with a couple friends and Dad says I can't go out unless I change my whole outfit. I mean it was okay 3 years ago!" She replies giving me a pleading look. I finally look at her outfit fully, and wince a little. I know what I did when I was her age no matter if my dad told me to or not. That's how I had her, but I know she needs a little leeway or she'll be another me. "Okay, if you go change your shorts into something a little longer you can go." She squeals and jumps up "But first I wanna know who all's going to be there, and where are you going?" I say to her, her jumping stops momentarily. "It's going to be me, Collin, Brady, Alexis, Ramona, Cameron, Maddi, and Mason. And we're going to First Beach to play soccer!" She lets me know before running upstairs changing and coming back down in something a little better and runs outside while yelling "I'LL BE HOME BEFORE 10!"
