"I don't want a babysitter. I am eleven years old. My babysitter is only three years older than I am," she loudly yelled to her Mom. Now, she really wished she had somebody with her as she heard the clicking, scratching noises outside of the living room window. "This is silly. It's probably the storm," the girl said. She regretted watching the horror show she had been tuned into for the last half hour. As she searched for the remote to turn off the vampire movie, the front door blew open with a thunderous noise. Carla whirled around to see a dark image."

Carla didn't want a babysitter because:

• She believes she is old enough to take care of herself.

• She wants to watch scary movies.

• Carla's mother leaves her alone all the time.

• Carla's babysitter is only three years older than Carla.
