What do you wear?
  • Business formal: full suit, tie, dress shoes, and a hat, like it’s still the 1950s.
  • Business casual: collared shirt/blouse, sport coat/cardigan, khakis/skirt, loafers.

We’re not going to get into how you got roped into this, but you are babysitting today, without any help. Your babysitees are 2 sets of twins, one set 11 months old, the other set 3 months old. Their parents got all the car seats for you and loaded the babies in before sending you on your way.

When you reach your home you discover the drive has lulled all 4 babies to sleep.

Assuming that you feel competent to bring 2 babies inside your home at a time, which babies do you bring in first?

Do take both how far your car is parked from your front door and where you’re going to put the babies in the house/how long it’ll take to put the first-in pair in a safe place while leaving the others in the car into consideration. And note that none of the babies are walking yet, though the older set is getting close.

  • The older babies first
  • The younger babies first
  • The babies who are the easiest to get out of the car seats first
