That kid is scarred. For. Life.

So is the babysitter. I'm a 36 year old man. I would be scarred for life also.

So I'm 34

No joke

I put the box spring right on the floor. My kid can't worry. I can't worry.

Because if there was a dude under the bed or even a creepy crawly I would probably scream like a little girl.

Kid: There's a monster under my bed.

Lady: There isn't.

Kid: Check please.

Lady: Ok.... screams in terror

I would totally do that even if there was nothing there.

Related: You should not hire me as a babysitter.
