Simon comes into Ruthie's room, where she tells him that she's been there, done that babysitting thing with Matt, Mary, and Lucy, and that she doesn't want to do it with him. Simon says that if Ruthie lets him babysit, he'll split what their parents pay him fifty-fifty. Ruthie laughs at the idea that he'll get paid at all (guess the church collection plate was running low this week), and then says that the only way she'll agree to let him babysit is if he lets her do whatever she wants, whenever she wants. He agrees as long as it doesn't involve knives, fire, or cars. Stupid Simon -- you forgot to ban napalm, which I'm absolutely sure Ruthie has lying around her room somewhere. Maybe behind that dollhouse? Oh sure, it looks innocent with its gingerbread trim, but I think I see a false bottom. Simon and his sister shake on their "deal," and Simon walks away, quite pleased with himself. Ruthie laughs in stereotypical evil-villain-fashion. That girl ain't right.
