“You wanna bet on it?” Jinny let her grin show.

“Waddya mean?”

“I mean, I bet you can’t.”

“Can too!”

“Alright, how about this. I’ll act like a two year-old, and you can be the babysitter. That means you get to be in charge. But! You have to do all the things that I would do; all the things that a babysitter is s’posed to do.” Jinny’s face turned serious. “If you can do it until bedtime, then I’ll let you stay up late; and maybe, just maybe, I’ll let you watch a scary movie.”

Brie face was shining with excitement.

“But if you can’t, if you give up, or if you won’t do something you’re supposed to; then I win, and you agree to do everything I say, no arguing or complaining.”
