The idea was great for everyone except the one adult and two teenagers who had to watch 10 kids between the ages of 2 and 11.<\/p>\n<p>How the night didn\u2019t end with something out of \u201cLord of the Flies,\u201d I\u2019ll never know. I haven\u2019t read that book in ages, but things probably would have turned out differently if they had served mini pizza bagels, pigs in a blanket and cake.<\/p>\n<p>I can only imagine the horror if there weren\u2019t three video game systems in the house. Say what you want about what those things do to the brain. They probably saved a life or two last week. And if there had been carnage, the authorities would have needed weeks to find the bodies buried under the baby dolls and stuffed animals the girls had strewn about the family room.<\/p>\n<p>I love the younger set, but you knew the babysitters would have a long night when the descriptions of the children included phrases like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cKeep him away from his sister.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cLikes to be in control. Watch out for her.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cSomeone must be with him at all times.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All in good fun, of course. And, luckily, none followed Bridget\u2019s name. But she\u2019s no angel, even when she\u2019s trying to be sweet. We pulled up at the end of the night and could see the living room through the glass screen door.<\/p>\n<p>Bridget was in there with the only cousin younger than her, Connor, who just turned 2 earlier this year. We couldn\u2019t see any adults in the room, but didn\u2019t worry as we watched her walk up to Connor and give him a hug. What a sweet moment, we thought, as we sat in the car and watched.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when things got a little dicey. Bridget, as described by someone who she plays with, \u201clikes to hug hard.\u201d Slowly, the hug turned into a headlock as Connor tried to wriggle away. Within seconds we found out that my brother Dennis \u2013 Connor\u2019s father and a former wrestler like me \u2013 hadn\u2019t properly taught his youngest how to wrestle.<\/p>\n<p>Two points for Bridget. We were laughing too hard to see if she rolled him over for the pin.<\/p>\n<p>When the babysitters have to referee a wrestling match between a pair of toddlers, you know the babysitters didn\u2019t exaggerate their relief. I didn\u2019t envy them for those six hours or so amongst 10 of my ilk. Especially since most hadn\u2019t seen the Florida branch of my family for a while, which released a lot of pent-up playing from the 5-11 set.<\/p>\n<p>But at least we know that the second half of the Next Generation \u2013 my siblings and I have accounted for 22 kids \u2013 can drive people crazy just like their Moms and Dads.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s the whole reason to have kids, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we returned to my sister\u2019s house last week after my niece\u2019s wedding, the babysitters let out a sigh of relief. \u201cOur tour of duty is over,\u201d one exclaimed, half-jokingly.
