(01:27):
all six of you have wonderful birthdays with cakes that
are as big as a skyscraper. All right, that's everything
for now, So let's get into the story. Sorry, this
is the story of the time two brothers had a
whole day in themselves to do whatever they wanted. There
(01:48):
was no school that day, no private lessons, no appointments,
no chores, no sports, just a wide open day to
do as they pleased. Josh and Ved were pumped. This
sounded awesome. They couldn't remember the last time they'd had
an entire day of freedom.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Then what should we do? First?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I've got so many awesome ideas, I don't even know
how we're gonna choose. Not realizing that his brother didn't
actually have any awesome ideas, Ved tried to act like
he did as well. Oh yeah, for sure, Yush, I
also have some totally awesome ideas. Bro, We're gonna have
so much fun today it might end up being the
funnest day like in the world. The boys sat nodding
(02:30):
their heads while waiting for the other to suggest an idea. First, Well,
I was thinking, since I'm such a nice guy, how
about we do one of your ideas first, suggested Yosh.
Veed kept nodding like he was tracking the beat of
a song. Well, my idea was to do all the
really great things that can be done. So which one
(02:51):
of those things would you like.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
To start with?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yosh was beginning to wonder if their whole day was
just going to continue like this. Well, we could, ye know,
out do that thing we really like doing.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Ved jumped up from the sofa.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yes, the thing. We should totally do the thing. Josha
was about to finally admit that he didn't actually know
what the thing was when there was a knock at
the door. The door.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
The boys cried together.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Answering the door. What a perfect way to start the day.
Truth be told, there were lots of things these brothers
enjoyed doing. It was just that they had become so
used to being told by grown ups what and when
to do those things. There was always a schedule to follow,
a set time for everything, even screen time was limited
to certain days of the week. The boys opened the
(03:41):
front door and saw that no one was there. Strange,
But then ved looked down way down. Um, why is
there a baby at her house? He asked his brother.
His brother was too surprised to say anything. Mom, there's
a strange baby at the door. Do you know anything
about this? The boys were looking around to see if
(04:04):
the baby's parents were anywhere in sight. When their mother
came up behind them and saw who was at the door.
She melted like an ice cream scoop, plopping onto a
sidewalk during the hottest day of summer. Oh would you
look at that? Look at the sweet little, cheeky weekies
on that darling little baby, waby baby. Then she turned
(04:26):
to the boys, Well, you weren't just gonna leave the
baby's sitting there, are you? Babysitting does require that you
actually look after the baby? What did their mom just say? Mom?
Did you just say babysitting? It seemed odd that just
yesterday she told the boys they had the day off
to do whatever they wanted. Did she sign them up
(04:48):
for this. Babysitting is what it's called when you look
after a baby for someone. But don't worry, you'll be
fine as long as you understand that babysitting has nothing
to do with sitting on babies. That would be bad.
But boys, I'm just so proud of you two for
doing this. I honestly thought you too were just gonna
spend the whole day playing video games. It's so nice
(05:10):
to see you choosing to do something responsible. So their
mother hadn't put them up to this, and the baby's
parents hadn't stuck around long enough to explain anything, let
alone ask them if they were even interested in babysitting,
and now that their mother had reminded them about video games,
they kind of just wanted to do that. We'll get
on with the boys, bring the baby inside. You can't
(05:31):
expect to earn any money if you're not doing your job.
Their brothers looked at each other. Did she just say money?
You boys must be saving up for that new video
game you keep talking about? Is that it? Well, that's
the nice thing about having your own money. You get
to spend it as you see fit. Their mother explained
(05:53):
that she had some phone calls to make, but would
be around the house if they needed her. She then
left the boys with the baby, as if that was
a good idea. Neither brother had ever held a baby before,
so to be extra careful, they teamed up and brought
the baby inside together. It looked as if they were
trying to lift a rolled up rug into a moving van.
(06:13):
Back in their living room, the three of them sat
together on the floor, just staring at one another. So Ved,
what do you suppose we should do here?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Asked Yosh.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Ved looked like he was having a staring contest with
the baby. Were they now just going to waste the
whole day trying to think of something to do with
a baby? Well, I'm pretty sure babies like music. We
could put on some baby music. Josh liked his brother's idea,
but soon realized he had no idea what kind of
music babies listened to. He left the room to go
(06:46):
find a bluetooth speaker, while Ved remained locked into the
staring contest between him and the baby. You know, a
little guy, the shore would be a lot easier if
babies knew how to talk. The baby finally blinked, I
know how to talk, said the baby in a sweet
little voice. Had ved been sipping a drink at that moment,
he would have spitted it out all over the place. Um,
(07:08):
don't you mean goo goo gaga, he asked the baby,
still in disbelief. By now, some music had started playing.
Josh had found a playlist of relaxing baby lullabies. Boring,
complained the baby. I'm not trying to sleep. I want
to dance. I want to feel the bass, you know,
the boom boom sound, got anything like that. Just as
(07:32):
the baby was asking the question, Yoah should come back
over to where his brother and the baby were sitting.
He too couldn't believe what he was hearing, and he
had been sipping a drink at that time. A mouthful
of water burst out all over the place. Am I
hearing things? Or do we have a talking baby in
our living room? They call me Baby fun Dance, but
you can just call me well, baby fun dance. Eo kay,
(07:59):
said the two brother At the same time, they switched
over to another playlist and started playing some dance beats.
It seemed like Baby fun Dance approved, because he stood
up and started dancing to the music, and it wasn't
the kind of unstable dancing where you might worry about
a baby tipping over if someone were to open a window.
This baby actually knew what he was doing. He was
practically breakdancing. Oh gosh, this baby dance is better than you.
(08:25):
When the song was over, they sat back down on
the floor together. So, Baby fun Dance, when did you
learn how to do all that? Because you know, you
kind of looked like you were born last week, Baby
fun Dance seemed defended. I'm not a newborn baby, guys,
that's ridiculous, But I'm told I still have a ways
to go before my first birthday. A baby that could walk, talk,
(08:49):
and dance is what seemed ridiculous to the brothers, But hey,
what did they know about babies? Next, the boys came
up with an idea to take the baby for a walk.
They couldn't find the stroller from when they were young,
but they did find an old wagon in the shed.
It took both of them a few minutes to get
it out from under all the stuff that had been
piled on top. When they finally got the wagon out,
(09:10):
they panicked after realizing Baby fun Dance was not where
they had left him. But then they saw the baby
whiz pass them on vEDS scooter. Um did you just
see what I saw? Asked Yush, Yeah, answered Ved. Baby
fun Dance just did a tail whip on my scooter.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I don't even know how to do that.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Instead of going for a walk with the wagon, Baby
fun Dance took some time to teach the boy some
new tricks on the scooter. When they were eventually back inside,
Ved suggested playing video games. You can't put a baby
in front of a screen. It will rot his little brain.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Explained Yush.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Ved did not agree. That is such apparent thing to say.
Screens don't rot your brains, and even if they did,
it's probably because we aren't trading our brains from the
time we are babies. Giving him a screen now just
make his brain stronger. This could be the end of
rotting brains as we know it. Yush did think it
would be cool to solve the rotting brain problem. He
(10:08):
then felt mad his parents had never given him screen
time as a baby, and here I am just rotting
my brains away when all that could have easily been prevented.
It took some time, but they eventually found a wholesome
game on their tablet where you have to match animals
with the sounds that they make. For example, if you
were to match the horse with the nay sound, a
(10:29):
little mouse would pop up and say, Wow, great job,
little learner, you get a star. But when the boys
went to show the game to Baby Fun Dance, they
saw that he was already playing a video game on
their TV. Oh no, Baby Fun Dance, that's one of
Dad's games. That one is way too hard for us,
let alone a baby. There's all this strategy involved, and
(10:50):
sometimes you have to read stuff. Josh elbowed his brother,
hold on, bro, it looks like he actually knows what
he's doing. The brothers joined Baby Fun Dance on the sofa,
who tried teaching them how to play. It still seemed confusing,
so after a while, Ved snuck away to play the
animal matchup game, and you know what, he got every
star that game had to offer. When their bellies began
(11:14):
to rumble, Yash and Ved knew they were in trouble.
First because they had never prepared food for a baby before,
and second because if it was already lunchtime, that meant
they had gone the whole morning without changing Baby Fun
Dances diaper. The two brothers stepped aside to try and
figure this out. Okay, so you changed the diaper and
I'll make the lunch, suggested Yosh. No, no, no, shot Backved,
(11:39):
you changed the diaper and I'll ask mom to make
the lunch. That hardly seems fair, said Yush. You know, so,
good thing we're getting paid for this. Babysitting us really
hard work. Josh quickly accepted his brother's offer a moment later,
after hearing the sound of Baby fun Dance flushing the
toilet all by himself. Brother, you've got yourself a deal.
(12:02):
Ved's plan backfired even further when he went to ask
his mother for help with lunch and found out she
was too busy. Oh man, what did babies even eat?
He asked, Mush, answered his brother. Babies like to eat mush.
It sure didn't sound very appetizing to Bed, but at
least throwing some stuff together and mashing it all up
(12:23):
sounded easy. Maybe I'll grab my rubber boots. They'd be
perfect for stomping on stuff and making it all mushy.
But by the time the boys had made it to
the kitchen, Baby fun Dance had just finished whipping up
a gourmet meal. I hope you guys like your pasta
al Dante. What did some guy named al who was
a dentist have anything to do with pasta? The boys wondered.
(12:46):
But perhaps this whole babysitting thing wasn't too hard after all,
and how exciting that they'd actually be getting paid for this.
If all this work ended in them having enough money
to buy a new video game, it would totally be
worth it. But as the day continue, something started to
dawn on the brothers. U Baby fun Dance, do you
know what time your parents are coming to pick you up?
(13:08):
Baby fun Dance told them that he did not. Well,
maybe if you tell us where you live, we could
walk you home. I don't know where I live, but
I like it here, Ved smiled, Baby fun Dance, that
would be so cool if you got to come live
with us. Josh pulled his brother by the ear into
the next room. Dude, why did you say that we
(13:31):
can't keep this Babyved shrugged? But why? Is it? Because
we don't actually know anything about properly caring for a baby? Yeah,
and because if his parents don't show up that means
we won't get paid. Not that that's what's important at
a time like this. The more they thought about it,
the more awful it started to sound. What if Baby
(13:52):
Fun Dance went from being a cute little baby to
an annoying younger brother, a younger brother who was better
at them than everything. What if they had to listen
to boys, why can't you be more like Baby Fun Dance?
Baby Fun Dance doesn't need help with his homework. And
let's not totally discount the whole no money thing. These
(14:12):
boys were counting on that pay data by their new
video game. With Baby Fun Dance pulling his own wagon,
the boys began knocking on every door in the neighborhood,
hoping to find Baby Fun Dances parents. Unfortunately, most of
the neighbors gave them rude looks or slammed doors in
their faces just because they'd ask things like have you
lost any babies today? Are you Baby fun Dances mom? No? Well,
(14:36):
how would you like to have your very own walking
and talking baby for the super low price of the
cost of a video game. With no luck finding Baby
Fun Dances parents, the boys started walking back home. Baby
Fun Dance, Are you sure you don't know your address?
Cuz I'm pretty sure you already know more than my teacher.
It did seem highly unusual. Everything about this seemed highly unusual.
(15:00):
A baby just showing up at their house unannounced, a
baby whose parents hadn't stuck around to tell them anything.
A baby who didn't even seem like he needed a babysitter.
Baby fun Dance, Are you sure there isn't something you're
not telling us? Baby fun Dance didn't seem to hear
the question. He was too preoccupied watching something happening at
the boy's next door neighbor's house. Their neighbor was talking
(15:22):
to a woman at the front door who looked to
be on the verge of tears. What do you mean
he's not here? He was scheduled to come here this morning.
Are you telling me he never showed up? The boys
looked down at Baby fun Dance, who was now smiling
and pointing at the woman mama. He then looked up
at the boys. That's baby talk for mother. The boys
(15:44):
got the attention of the woman, who immediately ran over
Baby fun Dance. I was so worried about you. What happened?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Did you go to the wrong house?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
You were supposed to be at this house today.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Baby Fun Dance shrugged.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Come on, mama, you know how who I am with addresses.
It's my only weakness. It's okay, miss said yush. We
didn't mind it at all. If anything, it actually felt
like Baby Fun Dance was babysitting us. The mother smiled, Well, yeah,
that's kind of how it works. Baby Fun Dance is
one of the most sought after babysitters in town. He
(16:20):
was supposed to be watching the neighbor's children today, but
I'm glad it worked out that he still had someone
to care for anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
His daily rate is fifty three.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Dollars for a full day of care. You can pay
with cash or check, but we'll have to make this quick.
The mother looked down at her baby, Baby Fun Dance,
we need to get you home and changed. Did you
forget that you have another job this evening? She then
turned back to the boys. Baby Fun Dance is one
of the premier DJs at one of the hottest nightclubs
in town. If you boys are ever in the mood
(16:48):
for a good dance party, you should come check him out.
After Baby Fun Dance and his mother left, the brothers
turned to each other, Well, I guess we aren't going
to be buying that video game anytime soon. Noope, agreed,
d which brings us back to the question from earlier,
what do you think we should do today? Josh grinned,
(17:10):
whoa dude, I don't even know where to start. I've
got like so many awesome ideas. The end, that's the story,
and I hope you enjoyed it. Question of the week
what is something funny that has happened to you while
you were babysitting or while you were being babysat. That's
(17:31):
all for now. I'll catch you on the next one.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
I don't even know how to do that.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Instead of going for a walk with the wagon, Baby
fun Dance took some time to teach the boy some
new tricks on the scooter. When they were eventually back inside,
Ved suggested playing video games. You can't put a baby
in front of a screen. It will rot his little brain.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Explained Yush.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Ved did not agree. That is such apparent thing to say.
Screens don't rot your brains, and even if they did,
it's probably because we aren't trading our brains from the
time we are babies. Giving him a screen now just
make his brain stronger. This could be the end of
rotting brains as we know it. Yush did think it
would be cool to solve the rotting brain problem. He
(10:08):
then felt mad his parents had never given him screen
time as a baby, and here I am just rotting
my brains away when all that could have easily been prevented.
It took some time, but they eventually found a wholesome
game on their tablet where you have to match animals
with the sounds that they make. For example, if you
were to match the horse with the nay sound, a
(10:29):
little mouse would pop up and say, Wow, great job,
little learner, you get a star. But when the boys
went to show the game to Baby Fun Dance, they
saw that he was already playing a video game on
their TV. Oh no, Baby Fun Dance, that's one of
Dad's games. That one is way too hard for us,
let alone a baby. There's all this strategy involved, and
(10:50):
sometimes you have to read stuff. Josh elbowed his brother,
hold on, bro, it looks like he actually knows what
he's doing. The brothers joined Baby Fun Dance on the sofa,
who tried teaching them how to play. It still seemed confusing,
so after a while, Ved snuck away to play the
animal matchup game, and you know what, he got every
star that game had to offer. When their bellies began
(11:14):
to rumble, Yash and Ved knew they were in trouble.
First because they had never prepared food for a baby before,
and second because if it was already lunchtime, that meant
they had gone the whole morning without changing Baby Fun
Dances diaper. The two brothers stepped aside to try and
figure this out. Okay, so you changed the diaper and
I'll make the lunch, suggested Yosh. No, no, no, shot Backved,
(11:39):
you changed the diaper and I'll ask mom to make
the lunch. That hardly seems fair, said Yush. You know, so,
good thing we're getting paid for this. Babysitting us really
hard work. Josh quickly accepted his brother's offer a moment later,
after hearing the sound of Baby fun Dance flushing the
toilet all by himself. Brother, you've got yourself a deal.
(12:02):
Ved's plan backfired even further when he went to ask
his mother for help with lunch and found out she
was too busy. Oh man, what did babies even eat?
He asked, Mush, answered his brother. Babies like to eat mush.
It sure didn't sound very appetizing to Bed, but at
least throwing some stuff together and mashing it all up
(12:23):
sounded easy. Maybe I'll grab my rubber boots. They'd be
perfect for stomping on stuff and making it all mushy.
But by the time the boys had made it to
the kitchen, Baby fun Dance had just finished whipping up
a gourmet meal. I hope you guys like your pasta
al Dante. What did some guy named al who was
a dentist have anything to do with pasta? The boys wondered.
(12:46):
But perhaps this whole babysitting thing wasn't too hard after all,
and how exciting that they'd actually be getting paid for this.
If all this work ended in them having enough money
to buy a new video game, it would totally be
worth it. But as the day continue, something started to
dawn on the brothers. U Baby fun Dance, do you
know what time your parents are coming to pick you up?
(13:08):
Baby fun Dance told them that he did not. Well,
maybe if you tell us where you live, we could
walk you home. I don't know where I live, but
I like it here, Ved smiled, Baby fun Dance, that
would be so cool if you got to come live
with us. Josh pulled his brother by the ear into
the next room. Dude, why did you say that we
(13:31):
can't keep this Babyved shrugged? But why? Is it? Because
we don't actually know anything about properly caring for a baby? Yeah,
and because if his parents don't show up that means
we won't get paid. Not that that's what's important at
a time like this. The more they thought about it,
the more awful it started to sound. What if Baby
(13:52):
Fun Dance went from being a cute little baby to
an annoying younger brother, a younger brother who was better
at them than everything. What if they had to listen
to boys, why can't you be more like Baby Fun Dance?
Baby Fun Dance doesn't need help with his homework. And
let's not totally discount the whole no money thing. These
(14:12):
boys were counting on that pay data by their new
video game. With Baby Fun Dance pulling his own wagon,
the boys began knocking on every door in the neighborhood,
hoping to find Baby Fun Dances parents. Unfortunately, most of
the neighbors gave them rude looks or slammed doors in
their faces just because they'd ask things like have you
lost any babies today? Are you Baby fun Dances mom? No? Well,
(14:36):
how would you like to have your very own walking
and talking baby for the super low price of the
cost of a video game. With no luck finding Baby
Fun Dances parents, the boys started walking back home. Baby
Fun Dance, Are you sure you don't know your address?
Cuz I'm pretty sure you already know more than my teacher.
It did seem highly unusual. Everything about this seemed highly unusual.
(15:00):
A baby just showing up at their house unannounced, a
baby whose parents hadn't stuck around to tell them anything.
A baby who didn't even seem like he needed a babysitter.
Baby fun Dance, Are you sure there isn't something you're
not telling us? Baby fun Dance didn't seem to hear
the question. He was too preoccupied watching something happening at
the boy's next door neighbor's house. Their neighbor was talking
(15:22):
to a woman at the front door who looked to
be on the verge of tears. What do you mean
he's not here? He was scheduled to come here this morning.
Are you telling me he never showed up? The boys
looked down at Baby fun Dance, who was now smiling
and pointing at the woman mama. He then looked up
at the boys. That's baby talk for mother. The boys
(15:44):
got the attention of the woman, who immediately ran over
Baby fun Dance. I was so worried about you. What happened?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Did you go to the wrong house?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
You were supposed to be at this house today.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Baby Fun Dance shrugged.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Come on, mama, you know how who I am with addresses.
It's my only weakness. It's okay, miss said yush. We
didn't mind it at all. If anything, it actually felt
like Baby Fun Dance was babysitting us. The mother smiled, Well, yeah,
that's kind of how it works. Baby Fun Dance is
one of the most sought after babysitters in town. He
(16:20):
was supposed to be watching the neighbor's children today, but
I'm glad it worked out that he still had someone
to care for anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
His daily rate is fifty three.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Dollars for a full day of care. You can pay
with cash or check, but we'll have to make this quick.
The mother looked down at her baby, Baby Fun Dance,
we need to get you home and changed. Did you
forget that you have another job this evening? She then
turned back to the boys. Baby Fun Dance is one
of the premier DJs at one of the hottest nightclubs
in town. If you boys are ever in the mood
(16:48):
for a good dance party, you should come check him out.
After Baby Fun Dance and his mother left, the brothers
turned to each other, Well, I guess we aren't going
to be buying that video game anytime soon. Noope, agreed,
d which brings us back to the question from earlier,
what do you think we should do today? Josh grinned,
(17:10):
whoa dude, I don't even know where to start. I've
got like so many awesome ideas. The end, that's the story,
and I hope you enjoyed it. Question of the week
what is something funny that has happened to you while
you were babysitting or while you were being babysat. That's
(17:31):
all for now. I'll catch you on the next one.
