Babysitting charge

She called me, "Rapunzel."

In the metro, she commanded me to turn around and show off my hair to strangers.  Emerging onto the street, she said seriously, "Let's go the barber."

"Let's not," I said.

One day she drew a single tooth and its accompanying gum -- nothing else.

When she said, "Thanks," it sounded like a sneeze.

"This bag is really heavy," remarked her mother in the elevator one day. "It's like I have rocks in here." She began to rummage in her bag, and pulled out two big rocks. "Well," she said, "I think I know who put these here."
