An Unforgetable Experience

One day, my parents had to go off for some hours to visit a sick relative. So I was leftin charge of my baby sister. She is four years old and very mischievous.When lunch time came, I seated her at the dining table. She spilt the food all over herand did not want me to feed her. I had to clear up the mess and clean her up. Taking care ofher was a difficult task as she was reluctant to have her dress changed. She was also cryingall the time.Next, she wanted to sleep. So I put her in her cot but she was restless and wanted adrink. When she finished her drink, I thought my job was over and I could have some peace.But, no, she wanted to listen to a story and I had to read her one until she finally fell asleep. Ithen took the opportunity to watch a TV programme. Unfortunately, the noise woke her upand she let out a cry. So I switched off the TV and carried her.Soon, it was time for her bath. She played in the water and splashed it all over me.Then the soap got into her eyes and she cried so much that I could not handle her. Finally, Ipicked her up and wrapped a towel around her. By then, she had stopped crying. I powderedher and dressed her in her favourite frock. It was 3.00pm, so I put her to sleep while I lay onthe sofa with a story book and dozed off after a while. It was at that very moment that mybaby sister woke up and came down the stairs. She lost her balance, tumbled down, yelledand screamed.I rushed to her, picked her up and checked for any injuries. Just then, my parentsreturned, much to my relief. I hope I shall not have to baby-sit as it is a tiresome and difficult job .
