GUEST BABYSITTER..The Cast of Grey's Anatomy


Setting: The cast of Grey's Anatomy is at our doorstep....a Snow Patrol song is faintly playing in the background...
Merideth Grey Voiceover: When you babysit, you watch children. And they watch you. Both watching. And maybe we are all children in some way. Sometimes I feel like a child. A child who sleeps around all the time.
McDreamy: Um, we are here to watch your kids.
Andrea: There's mac and cheese in the fridge.
Izzie: That reminds me of Denny! How dare you!
Pager goes off...
Troy: Do you need to take that?
The dude from Can't Buy me Love: No. There's drama going on right now. I only operate at the right time.
Troy: Wouldn't that be when someone is really hurt?
The guy from Loverboy: Not really. I need to wait until Merideth's voiceover is perfect, or at least until The Fray start singing.
Troy: I totally understand. Look our kids play well by themselves more or less, just make sure they are in bed around 8pm. We are going to see The Dark Knight...this time at the dollar theater.
Dr. Preston Burke: Your kids aren't gay are they?
Troy and Andrea: (speechless)
Andrea: Nah....don't think so.
Dr. Burke: Not important. I'm not even sure why I'm here, didn't I get fired? Wait a second, why is Izzie here? Hasn't she trashed everything about the show?
Izzie: How can you say that? I'm a perpetual victim character that way too many females relate too? Can't I be empowered enough so that everything I do should be applauded, yet the second I make a mistake I need to be comforted because I'm a a female?
Troy: I can't really say anything can I?
All the females present: No.
McDreamy: I'm actually babysitting for 2 other families tonight.
Andrea: We figured as much. You have commitment issues...we know. Anyways we have to go.
Sandra Oh's Character: You couldn't work me into this post even though I'm the only one you kinda like?
Troy: Nope. Sorry. Wait for the cast of Sideways post I guess.
Merideth Grey Voiceover: (Coldplay song starts to swell in the background) And so we are alone. With other people. Yet alone. Yet not alone. It's like being a doctor. Except when it's not.

GUEST BABYSITTER - Brett Favre

So we are home now if you don't know that. Andrea has a post below outlining our first few days. In an effort to keep the blog interesting long after we have left Colombia, here is the first guest babysitter post in which we describe encounters where celebrities come watch our kids for the night.

GUEST BABYSITTER - BRETT FAVRE
Brett - Yeah, I think I'm ready to come back. I know the last time I said no more babysitting, and I cried. But there's just a desire to compete, to watch the kids. I'm ready to come back. Are they upstairs?
Troy - Yeah. Okay, We are going to see The Dark Knight since we are now one of the 9 people in the US who haven't seen it. I have however seen the first 20 minutes of Cars 62 times.
Brett - I love that movie. I mean I really don't like it. It's awesome. I dunno...I may change my mind.
Andrea - There's mac and cheese in the fridge.
Brett - I love Italian food. Reminds me of the time I spent 4 hours at the Olive Garden. 30 minutes to decide Smoking vs. Non-Smoking (smoking...I'm a gunslinger)....then booth vs. table (I went with table). Then I finally decided on the chicken parm. When the waitress brought it out, I told her I wanted spaghetti and meatballs, when she came back again I told her I wasn't hungry and wanted to sit in a booth in non-smoking.
Troy - Okay. Whatever.
Brett - You can count on me. I'm a great leader.
Troy - When you're not throwing interceptions, right?
Brett - You're just a bitter Seattle fan right?
Troy - Yup.
Brett - Have a good time.

Later...at the movies....

Andrea - Can I get nachos?
Troy - Sure...hey is your phone ringing?
Andrea - Yeah...hello?....oh really....i see....but then who will?...okay.
Troy - Brett is quitting?
Andrea - Yeah, he got a babysitting gig in New York. Don't worry, he got someone to fill in. Some nice girl named Erin I think.
Troy - Sweet.  Let's go watch something violent.
