Looking after the Younger One

One day, my parents had to go off for some hours to visit a sick relative. So I was left in charge of my baby sister. She is four years old and very mischievous. When lunch time came, I seated her at the dining table. She spit the food all over her and refused my offer to feed her. I had to clear up the mess and clean her up. The latter proved to be quite a difficult task as she was reluctant to have her dress changed, crying  all the time.

Next, she wanted _ rest less and to sleep. So I put her in her cot but she was restless wanted to drink milk. When she finished the milk, I thought my task was over and I could have some peace. But, no, she wanted a story told and I had to oblige her until she finally dropped off to sleep. After sometime she woke out with a yell and cried. Then she announced she wanted to go out to the garden. But, as she was running, she slipped and fell. I quickly picked her up and soothed her. Now it was 3.00 p.m. so I put her to sleep while I lay on the sofa with a story book and dozed off after a while. It was at that very moment that my baby sister woke up and came down the stairs. She lost her balance, tumbled down, yelled and screamed. I rushed to her, picked her up and checked for any injuries. Just then, my parents returned, much to my relief. I hope I shall not have to baby-sit again as it is a tiresome and difficult job.
