I started watching them when I was only eleven (which seems crazy now, but I was really responsible then (moreso than my twenties, probably)). Now, they are both in college and home for winter break. And they're adults. With cars and drama and responsibility and it just trips me out because I just want to look at them and say "no, honey, you cannot pee in the toaster." It's so weird!<br /><br />I am sure you left an impact on those young ladies, and I think it's so wonderful that you still have that relationship with them.justrunhttp://www.justrunjustlivejustbe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087093335837785770.post-68900159337414713062009-12-22T06:42:40.978-08:002009-12-22T06:42:40.978-08:00I think we have an influence on everyone meet.

Then again, if they'd grown up to be featured on America's Most Wanted, we'd blame you for that too.Dingohttp://www.asiwassaying.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087093335837785770.post-18197481541750693382009-12-21T15:09:23.785-08:002009-12-21T15:09:23.785-08:00Aw Mel, that is so cute!

They exposed me to a lot growing up!<br /><br />Jane - It's weird to think we're adults, isn't it? I still don't think I'm quite ready to carry that status. :)<br /><br />Brookem - It was very touching that they all made time to come hang out with me.

It makes me realize time hasn't stood still and I'm also no longer in college, but an "adult."

And given they all agreed to come to your place on the same day at the same time ... well, I'd say they all think pretty darn fondly of their babysitter.
