Adventures in Babysitting So, tonight I was babysitting for a four-year-old. This involved playing for a long time in his grandmother's office (she is a child psychologist, so she has TONS of toys in her office).

He pulled toys out as he went, so I didn't immediately draw the connection. First there was a castle. Okay... Then there was a person with a wand, who had pink hair but was proclaimed the prince (I went with it--he's the kid, he gets the choice). Later there was a train, and a train station. The train was the "Wonderland Express". The castle had a W on it, I realized later.

Then, the other people started coming out. First, a very large man, both much taller and much wider than the other toys. Hagrid, I thought, but then figured I must be mistaken.

Then a wizard. And a cauldron. Hmm, interesting. Then two more characters with wands. One of them had red hair. And then, brooms, too.

That's right. It was a Harry Potter knockoff. "Hogwarts" became "Wonderland" but all the pieces were there. (Okay, there was no nasty looking Potions professor. Darn, what a loss.)

The kicker though? The pink haired "prince" was Hermione (oops!) and "Harry Potter" had--get this--PURPLE hair!

Hehehe... that was my Harry Potter adventure in babysitting. :-D  ¶ 7:47 PM
