Why I Prefer To Hang Out With Guys

So I'm nannying this summer for a pair of sisters, 12 and 10 years old. And I consider myself a good babysitter/nanny, but I'm really much better at watching boys (because entertaining them takes no more effort than playing video games.) And since they were involved in the musical I was recently in, we've mostly just been at rehearsals until this week.

This week since we had nothing really to do, they planned a whole bunch of adventures for us, which looked pretty awesome from the get-go. Tuesday and Wednesday were a massive movie marathon, including but not limited to the first three Harry Potter movies. Thursday we went to the Children's Museum (yay!) and Friday (today) was movie theater day.

Now, all of these things sounded awesome until they actually happened.

Thursday we went to the Children's Museum as planned, and even though I hadn't been there in like eight years, they still had some stuff I remembered as TOTALLY AWESOME. Like the ScienceWorks exhibit with all the Rube Goldberg machines and the water tables and the bigass jungle gym/ building set. My FAVORITE PART. In which the girls spent (maybe) twenty minutes. -rage- No, the majority of our time was spent in the BARBIE EXHIBIT. Where we did hair. And makeup. And walked in a fashion show. And designed DRESSES.

Gross.

Anyway, I survived that, assuming that today (Friday) would be FRIGGIN AWESOME because we were going to the movies and HARRY POTTER CAME OUT TODAY! w00t! And so the girls looked up movie times and ticket prices and announced that we'd be going to Georgetown Cinemas in Indy to see...

Monte Carlo.

Me: O_o

Yeah. Opening day of HP7Part2. We'd been watching Harry Potter movies ALL WEEK. But nooooooooooo. We had to see a dumb SELENA GOMEZ movie. Which actually turned out to be not that bad. But that's not the point! The point is I HAVEN'T SEEN HARRY POTTER YET, AND IT'S BEEN OUT FOR EIGHTEEN WHOLE HOURS!

-pants-

Anyway. I digress. Don't forget to be awesome. :)
