Story
Carol was excited about her first baby-sitting job. This was an opportunity for her to earn her own money and demonstrate to her parents that she was a responsible person. Carol felt very confident about her abilities for baby-sitting. She had a lot of experience caring for her own younger brothers and sisters at home. She felt that she could handle any situation.
Carol arrived fifteen minutes early to begin her first job at the home of the Rodgers family. Mrs. Rodgers was pleased with Carol's attitude, appearance, and self-confidence. Mrs. Rogers explained to Carol that one of her three children suffered violent reactions whenever he at any food items that had sugar as an ingredient. Mrs. Rodgers asked Carol to listen very carefully to her instructions on how to resolve this problem if it occurred. First, she told her to attempt to calm him down, then give him two teaspoons of medicine and observe him for five minutes. She added, "If the condition remains unchanged, give him two more teaspoons and call me.
Carol had never been a good listener, and today was no exception. As Mrs. Rodgers gave these important directions, Carol was playing with the children and patting the family dog on the head.
Mr. and Mrs. Rodgers finally departed and Carol was on her own. The first several hours passed without incident. Then, somehow, Johnny, who is allergic to sugar, managed to find a candy bar and at it. A short time later, Carol heard a crash and lour noises. Johnny was destructive with his toys and was totally out of control. Carol tried to remember the directions that she had been given by Mrs. Rodgers.
