Rent-A-Kid

I am renting this kid.

I am renting.him and taking him to the zoo so I fit in with all of the other parents who have their kids on leashes.

That's not weird, is it? I mean the leashes part is a little weird, but not renting, right?

I promise I'll take good care of him. I won't let him pet the lions or swim with the sharks.

I'll even feed him.

Even cotton-candy covered ice cream with goldfish crackers on top. Or whatever is the rage among five year-olds these days.

I am hoping his parents say yes. It's not a done deal yet. Perhaps if I show up in a minivan that will make them think I can handle it. Cross your fingers.

And if it all goes well, I may be looking for other kids to rent. So get your leashes ready.
