Mom expects perfection, and I deliver: smiles, posture, and not a single hair out of place. So, when I'm asked to babysit my twin cousins in small-town Iowa, I arrive armed with expert parenting tips and the confidence of someone pretending to know what she's doing. Unfortunately, none of it prepares me for the consequences of momentary distraction...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd I get arrested.
