This summer my family and my uncle’s got together in my grandmother’s timeshare in Orlando to go to Disney World and Universal Studios. I wanted to go to Cape Canaveral while we were there too.

As soon as I found out my uncle was coming I told my parents I would not be babysitting for him on my vacation. They promised me I would not have to do that.

First two days went great. I got to have fun at Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. Day three was Epcot and my aunt and uncle started having a few drinks. My parents asked me to watch my cousins. I said no thanks. I was promised I would not have to babysit. My uncle pulled out a wad of cash and gave me $300. I was more than happy to babysit for the day.

It happened two more days. I watched my cousins three days and made $950. I used the money to have fun with the kids. I spent a little of it to get them snacks and drinks. Our meals were paid for by our parents.

I took one day for myself and went to Kennedy Space Center. I had saved up my own money for the visit but now I had cash. I paid for the VIP experience. It was amazing and I highly recommend it. I also bought souvenirs I would not have had money for otherwise. I got a Light Saber and a Droid. And a Wand at Universal. It turned out to be a pretty good vacation after all.

On the way home my father said I had played my joke long enough and to give my uncle his money back. I said “she gone” and pointed at my souvenirs. I honestly wondered where he thought I got the money to buy everything I wanted.

He went and told my uncle that I spent it all. I actually still had $200 but I wasn’t going to mention it.

My mom told my dad that I had earned that money and that they had broken their promise to me that I would not have to babysit.

My uncle is upset with me for keeping the money and my father thinks I was greedy for taking advantage of the situation. I think he means I tricked his drunk brother.
