Going to the local Blockbuster with our babysitter and getting to choose which candy we wanted at the register. Renting a Pokémon or old Nickelodeon VHS tapes to watch over the weekend. Eating like 3 bags of popcorn in a single evening.
I know what you mean. When I call babysitters now and try to get them to watch a movie with me it gets weird quick and they put their dad on the phone. It’s like, obv I don’t want to talk to your dad!
Used to be easier hanging with the babysitter in the late eighties for sure.

I miss the simplicity of it all.
You were allowed to get register candy!?
My parents left the sitter money for treats, if we were good!

Maybe because you say wildly creepy shit like this, but who knows?
