Sweet Sixteen Niece

I have a dear niece who is turning sixteen today! Happy Birthday, Lovely Girl! She was my 2-year-old son's first customer 14 years ago when he was attempting to get his baby-sitting business off the ground:
*
Whoops.......at least he can get stroller wheels off the ground! Oh, his poor cousin.......what she had to put up with!
*
For an extra dollar per hour, my son the babysitter would provide spelling lessons on the dishwasher door:
*
And, he would hover over his charge, ever ready to provide comfort in times of distress. (It couldn't possibly be the case that he might have caused the distress in the first place.......nah......no way!)

*
Once again......Happy Birthday, Niece! Kindly follow your parents' rules---they have your best interests in mind......use good judgement......drive carefully, etc.......and God bless you always!

Hi, Laura, Dr. John, Egghead, Ruth,

Thank you for dropping by! This trio of photos always bring chuckles around here....I'm not sure my son appreciates them very much, though.
