Babysitter

Went out with the 11 years old and a big guy on Monday; watched Madagascar and snapped a few shots at the photo booth; I’m the babysitter of the day, watching the friend treating the young lady like a princess or perhaps, as a sister. Maybe he wasn’t the only one. Went out with three schoolmates on Tuesday, one my age whereas the other two are slightly younger; where the friend thinks I look like a babysitter as I have to search for the two boys when the show was about to start. Overall, I’ve seen a different type of bonding among all four within two days, a bond which may even surpass the one which holds a family together. Meaning, we can find ourselves home within the busy crowds, people we are comfortable with, be it one person or a group of people. We are not required to be biologically related to be in a family, we are not required to have the same surname to call each other brother and we are not required to be the same species to respect one and another as a living being. When the chemistry is right, everything shall be; does not matter if we are to babysit, does not matter if we are to act gay and does not matter if we are to make a fool out of us.
