Dark Circles Page #4

I'm gonna go to the store.

Sweetie, put some shoes on.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I...

Are you sure you're okay to drive?

I just drifted off for a second.

You forgot the list.

I talked to Dr. Gordon.

He said try gripe water.

He may be having gas at night.

Gripe water.

All right.

Are you sure you're okay to leave?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Okay.

Don't be gone long.

Thank you.

Whoa!

For a second there,

I thought you were the Grim Reaper.

I'm too young to die!

So I would normally

never ask a customer this,

but are you okay?

Yeah.

I'm hangin' in there, I suppose.

New baby?

Five months old.

Doesn't sleep?

Not when he's supposed to.

He's got it all upside-down.

They got a term for it.

It's called daylnight confusion.

That'd be a really good name for a band.

What?

You like babies?

I wouldn't choose to, like,

hang out with one,

but I know sometimes it can't be helped.

Are you asking me if I'll babysit for you?

Yeah.

Yeah. Yes.

- Does your TV work?

- You'll do it?

You didn't answer

my question about the TV.

Okay, all right, look,

our cable doesn't work.

But our DVD player works great.

Okay, okay. Take it easy.

Okay, so you'll do it?

I mean, we just need someone to...

Who will stay the night with the baby.

That, I mean, that's it.

- Okay.

- I can trust you?

You can totally trust me.

Like, I'm not

gonna touch your liquor cabinet.

I had one too many wine coolers once

when I was 14,

so I don't touch the stuff.

Smart girl.

Yeah.

So, I normally would ask 10 an hour,

but since I'm gonna be

doing this overnight...

Whatever you want. I mean... Here.

Okay.

Yeah, you just gave me a hundred, so...

Hi.

So I have a baby brother and a baby sister.

And my older sister has a baby.

And my older brother has a baby.

You wanna hear about my cousins?

No, that's... No, that's good.

Nice place.

So, if he sleeps,

then you can bring him upstairs to his crib.

But what's been happening

since we moved in here

is he wakes up every 15 minutes.

If that's the case, I would

just keep him down here.

You know you don't

put him to sleep on his belly, right?

Yeah, of course.

And if he...

If he's sleepin' and you get tired, you know,

you can just crash out on the couch.

Or we have Coke in the fridge.

Or coffee. We have a coffee maker.

No, I don't do caffeine.

Really?

She doesn't drink either.

And no red meat.

If that matters.

Well, that's actually kind of cool.

But really, I don't want

you to worry about me.

Or the baby, of course.

I slept all day.

So this is not gonna be a problem for me

to make it through the night.

But you know what I can't do?

I can't carry both of you guys upstairs.

So, y'all might want to be
