While babysitting four children, I needed to run outside and put two milk jugs into the recycle bin in front of the house. I could have just ran out the door, told the kids to stay inside (and hoped they would have), and been back in a matter of seconds. No harm in that, but I had three kids who wanted to be with me whatever I was doing.
I knew there was a possibility of some of the children running into the street or down the sidewalk, further than I would want, so I said, "Okay, all aboard the train!"
So the three of them grabbed onto each others hips and mine, like a train, and we danced out the door to the recycle bin and sang some silly made up "choo-choo" tune.
All were safe and sound and we had a good laugh and another moment together.
