Babysitting

I'm walking through an apartment complex when I hear some voices. They are angry voices and are arguing. When I come to the entrance where the voices originate, I see three black children. Two are around 6 maybe and the other is around 4. The youngest is a girl while the two older children are boys. The apartment is bare and there are no adults in sight. My main concern is for the little girl who is picking up lots of bad language from her older brothers. I elect to invite the girl over to my place until her parents return. One of the boys objects to this and wants to see my place and make sure everything is okay with his sister. It's not as it sounds, however. His motives are not so pure. He simply wants to see what I have available for him. My childhood dog, Nutmeg, is there and both children become enamoured immediately and elect to stay. The kids are more work than I had bargained for. They both are bratty, though I maintain my cool. The dream has the children switching between the black children and two of my cousins (Colin and Carolyn). I finally decide it is time for them to leave. Their parents have not yet returned, but I have had enough. Getting them to leave is a very difficult process. Nutmeg is certainly glad to see them depart.
