Norma and kids

So last night we're enjoying being in, getting ready to read The Hobbit (We decided to start the series recently). It was around 10pm and we hear knocking at the door. There I found our friend Norma (early 30s). She's like, "what's up, so this dog bit me tonight, see here's my wound, and can you guys watch my kids (5 of them, age 1 - 12) tomorrow from 8am to 1pm or maybe until 3pm when you'd need to then take them to the Children's Day event in the plaza and watch them there?". I was thinking to myself, it's kind of late at night to be asking for the next morning and the next morning is Saturday and 8am is kind of early, so I checked with Christy and we said "sure".

She arrived at 7:45am and dropped them off. Then she came back at 8:30 and picked them up. Apparantly she was going to clean the Catholic church today to earn a little money. She said they clean it with diesel fuel, to which we asked, "isn't that a little dangerous, like if someone is smoking or something?". She said no, not dangerous like, of course it's not dangerous. But the guy who was going to bring diesel fuel showed up and when asked about the diesel said he forgot to bring it. So away the kids went with Norma, which was just as well with us, although Christy was really quite enjoying herself with Cheerios and puzzles.
