Babysitting? You are looking after somebody else's children?bugmadmark wrote:You asked what I do in winter months - I'm babysitting whilst my wife is at work
And I remember Why Don't You? from the first time round. I can still sing the theme tune!

Why Don't You,
Why Don't You,
Why Don't You,
Why Don't You,
Just switch off your television set and,
go put tags next to the Brown Hairstreak eggs,
Sitting at home, watching TV,
Send all my records in to BC,
Why Don't You,
Why Don't You,
Why Don't You,
Why Don't You,
I'll get me coat ...
Cheers,

Lol. That just sounds like the sort of thing a bloke would say. The kids are the wife's responsibility and he just keeps an eye on them until she comes back.bugmadmark wrote:Susie - no my own children! But by time i get in from work and just about see them into bed it feels like babysitting!
You have done better than I because I have failed miserably to get my three interested. The only slight bit of interest one of them shows is when I empty the moth trap as she enjoys that. Mind you, even though they may not enjoy it they seem to be picking things up, they know far more about natural history than any of their friends at school. Perhaps like me, the seeds sewn when they were young will bear fruit when they are older.bugmadmark wrote: That's why I was so happy when the 3 of them took a great interest in helping me photograph butterflies for the first time the other week - they really enyoyed it! Bed time stories were even temporarily replaced (at my daughters request- honest) at looking through my new Collins butterfly guide instead (Insect propaganda me thinks?).
