Things I Didn't Know

By Tasha Gislason

 

I didn't know that people could be so nice.

I didn't know that they would take you in

Their house if you didn't have a home to live in

I didn't know that when you babysit somebody's

Kids that the mom and dad could be so nice to you

I didn't know that you could stay at peoples houses.

I didn't know that they would pay you for babysitting their kids

I never knew that they would ask you again to babysit their kids

I didn't know that the next time they ask you to babysit

They would bring you something from the place they were at

I didn't know that they could be so respectful to you

And nice and sweet and just so awesome that they bring

You stuff

I didn't know that they would let you see around their house

I didn't know that they would let you smell their brand new car

I didn't know that they would love you to babysit again.
