Babysitters
Dazbrilliantwhites asks: You've had them and maybe even have been one. Or maybe you were once babysat by someone who is now a notorious serial killer. Tell us your stories.

My personal version...
When I was still well in need of babysitters myself I used to collect earthworms to be my friends. I would carry them around in my pockets until they were quite dead, but I had no conception of death, so to me they were sleeping. Then one day I somehow connected my dad's explanations of what happened to our cat when she got cancer and had to be "put down" to what was happening to my worm friends. I was grief-striken and horrified and have had a pretty strong aversion to earthworms ever since.
I imagine I confused some random adult when they brought me a new worm friend and I burst into tears. Wonder what it was for Willie and Miss Doom.
