Bill Guerin's Baby-sitter

By Amber Forrest


It was a cool evening, I was curled up in a blanket watching TV, as my phone rang. "Hello?"
"Hey, is this Serena?" The voice asked.
"Yes, yes it is. Who is this?" I asked.
"Oh it's Bill." The voice responded. "I'm sorry to bother you but I need a baby-sitter for later tonight. I know it's very short notice but my wife decided to come out to the game, so I was wondering..."
"Yeah! Sure, no problem! What time do you need me to be over by?"
"By about 5 or so."
"K, sounds great, See you then Bill." I hung up the phone and looked over at my clock. It was almost 4:30 so I thought I better get ready. I had just moved to Edmonton from Calgary and still didn't quite know my way around town yet. I had moved into my friend Amber's house, she sure had her links! She had hocked me up with this great job, babysitting for Bill Guerin!

I drove up to a house with the numbers 6996 on it. I looked at the piece of paper in my hand, yep this was Bill's joint! This was the second time I had baby-sat for him but I was still new to Edmonton so I got lost easily. As I stepped out of my souped up, yellow CRX, I saw him coming out the front door with his blue hockey bag in hand and his wife behind him. He walked over to his Blue Dodge Durango and plopped it into the back. His wife came over to me and gave me the run around. "Kids in bed by 8, feel free to help yourself to the food and we'll be home around 11 12ish."
"Alrighty, good enough. Oh yeah would it be okay if Amber comes over later?" They both knew her very well so I knew there wouldn't be a problem.
"Sure, we don't mind at all"
"Good enough. You two enjoy yourselves!"
"We will. See you later Serena." Bill replied.

I had just gotten the kids into bed when the door bell rang. I ran down the stairs and opened the front door. "Hey Amber!"
"Sup Blonde? Are the kids in bed?"
"Yep, just tucked them in before you came!"
"GOOD! Now we can get to work!"
"Work?" I asked confused.
"Yes blonde, you have to do this to everyone you baby-sit for."
"What? What are you talking about Amber?"
"Follow me!" She said as she raced up the stairs. She headed straight for the washroom, pulled open a drawer and rustled around, looking for something.
"Okay, you can fill me in here!" I said as I looked over her shoulder. "Ooo is that a condom? Hummm someone has been keeping busy!"
"Were looking for something 'cool' of Bill's to keep. You know something to remember all this by." That's when I guess she saw it... "HEY SERENA!!! Check this out!" She handed me something and when I took a closer look I noticed that it was someone's toothbrush.
"This isn't Bill's! It's pink for crying out loud Blonde!"
"Take a closer look at it." She replied with a snicker. There at the end were the words "Billy Bob Boy". We both looked at each other and keeled over laughing!
"Billy Bob Boy?" I asked almost in tears. "God this is too good!"
"What did I tell you?! Hockey players always seem to have the funkiest things!" We kept looking around but nothing seemed better then Guerin's pink toothbrush.

When we got home we couldn't help laughing as she pulled the pink Billy Bob Boy toothbrush out of my bag. And too this day I still have it kicking around.

THE END
