If You Were Hired to Babysit a Doll, Would You Take the Job?


If you were hired to babysit a doll, would you take the job?

reply

Definitely , why not a lovely house like that , I'd sit and write all day long



I was waiting for my hearse what came next was so much worse

reply

That's what I was thinking. Great place to write. Nature, peace and quiet.

Of course, the first sign of anything creepy and I'd be out of there in a flash unlike Greta.

Depends on how much they paid how creepy the doll is, and if there is internet.

reply

I agree with the internet thing. I looked as if they had no tv or internet. That would not fly because I would be bored out of my mind. And I don't like being alone that long so if my son and fiance could be there I probably would.
I'll have plenty of time to practice my hooping, but I love to watch videos of youtube to help.

Nope I'd take the next cab out of there!!

As soon as they brought that doll out and introduced him as their son, I would have told them I am suddenly feeling quite ill and I don't want to get Brahms sick, so I better leave immediately

Given her particular situation, I thought it made sense (staying to care for the doll and all).

However, I lost some liking for her character at first because right after the parents left, she totally didn't do what she was being paid for (the list, etc.)

Not that hard to do, and after all that *was* what she ostensibly was being paid for, and apparently quite nicely.

The bad thing is she said she felt like she was taking advantage of them. Seeing as she started out by NOT doing what she was paid to do, that's EXACTLY what she was doing LOL.

For sure I would. Easy money, getting to stay in such a big place, & having time to get away from the stresses of life nowdays.

I don't think you know how scary being alone in a large strange house can get.

reply

Excellent question.

Yes, I would take the job. However I would blow as soon as it made me a peanut-butter sandwich.

Blow the doll ?

Who wouldn't blow that doll?

Absolutely. I think it would be cute. Hell, I would have stayed even after I learned the truth. But then again, my dream is never to have to leave my house and grounds so it would be perfect for me. :)

reply

Hell no.
