Back in the day<\/span><\/p>\n

Of babysitting and teen lines and friendship pins<\/span><\/p>\n

I slept my mornings away<\/span><\/p>\n

Partied my nights with a variety of sins<\/span><\/p>\n

No responsibility<\/span><\/p>\n

No cares in my teenage life of sensibility<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nobody told me about babies and puppies<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Babysitting, Big Bucks\/No Whammies, and brownies<\/span><\/p>\n

Living the life on an easy chair<\/span><\/p>\n

Baby sleeps soundly,<\/span><\/p>\n

Assaulted into\u00a0 reality with puppy poop like a nightmare<\/span><\/p>\n

Brownie fights stomach profoundly<\/span><\/p>\n

Chocolate loses; brownie throw-up everywhere<\/span><\/p>\n

Baby wakes with an unhappy dance<\/span><\/p>\n

Because he just pooped his pants<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nobody told me about babies and puppies<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As I begin to clean the baby up,<\/span><\/p>\n

I hear a terrifying slurping noise.<\/span><\/p>\n

The puppy is licking my brownie throw-up.<\/span><\/p>\n

I throw up again with unflattering poise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mom walks in to witness this gallant moment,<\/span><\/p>\n

I ask, \u201cAre you ready to hear my dog-poop-brownie-throw-up story?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nobody told me about babies and puppies.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
