100 Things Learned from When a Stranger Calls


1. Pre-call the cops cause it will probably take them 40 minutes to get to your house.
2. Go through the kids' parents' stuff while you're babysitting.
3. If someone is calling you from the house you're in, you probably won't be able to hear them talking.

61. The big thing at school that night is a giant statue on fire.

62. Always count on the fire place to have a remote control to save your life.

63. Jill can turn into Wonder Woman fighting a professional killer and beat him but once the whole ordeal is over she is traumatized for life.

64. Babysitting is a punishment for going over cell phone minutes.

65. When sprinting to get high time in Track practice, make sure to look down at the basketball scrimmage because that will surely help your time lol.

66. When scared to death to leave a secluded place at dark fearing you are being followed, get out to move a small branch instead of just flooring it out of the gate.

67. Todd is not available now, if you do not have his number then there is probably a reason.

68. Sit in the dark for the whole night of babysitting.

69. Do not let a perfectly good popsicle go to waste.

70. Hire a teen you never met to babysit your kids instead of just having Rosa watch them all night.

Lol, Todd even SOUNDED like a spoiled douche (confirmed by all the lame snowboarding posters in the guest house).

I understood why Rosa wouldn't be expected to watch the kids - if you're live in help, you STILL have set hours you work. However:

71. Do not bother to introduce your brand new, never-met-before teen babysitter to literally anyone in your household while you're out for the evening. Not the adult woman who also lives there, and certainly not the children she is responsible for. In fact, don't even let her know if another adult is going to be home (same for the housekeeper). I'm sure they'll figure it out if they need to.

They're coming to get you, Barbara!

72. When trying on the mom's jewelry and you think you've been caught, don't worry about putting the 3 rings back in the jewelry box. After you've put the necklace back and you've run back and sat on the couch, pretending to be reading a book, the rings will magically disappear from your fingers. Presumably, they have made there way back from which they came.

73. When you put on your necklace that's obviously long enough to slip over your head, have your husband unclasp then clasp it on, just to show how much he must love you.

74. Chester, the cat, is a good reminder of why I hate cats.
75.Tiffany is a bitch.
76.Rosa, the house-keeper, is unqualified to babysit
77.Continue to never check on the kids,whom you've never met.
78.Tiffany is now even with Jill, since she kissed Bobby, cuz it's only fair, since Tiffany wanted him first.
79.Leave a cryptic message on the voicemail of the mother of the children, but then assure her that everything's fine.
80.Rosa is pretty good at hide and seek.
81.Camilla Belle has a nice butt.
