Customer Service and You [Wednesday, August 6, 2014]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"Hello!" Josh screamed over the sound of tiny, hyperactive children. "Welcome to the most basic of customer service options for teenagers who don't want to mow lawns: babysitting!" He gestured around the room as the children ran in shrieking, overstimulated circles.

"These guys have just eaten a stash of leftover Halloween candy and washed it down with diet soda," he added helpfully, "and are supposed to be sleeping in fifteen minutes so....good luck with that. There's a reason I never had kids and this is about 90 percent of it."

Thanks, Josh.

Bribe 'em, threaten 'em, knock 'em out...Josh really just wants the noise to stop.

Now this would probably surprise Josh, given Kaylin's usual disregard for people's feelings, desires, and anything else, but... She was remarkably good with children. And, while you'd be damned hard pressed to get her to admit it, she loved them.

Within a few minutes she had engaged the kids in a rough and tumble game and ran them till they were collapsing on the floor. Then she sat and told stories of dragons and Barrani and Leontines to an awed and wide-eyed circle of sleepy children.

He might be even more surprised at how gentle she was with the little ones who crawled onto her lap to be snuggled as they fell asleep. Who was this Kaylin?
