My dear aunt and uncle have passed their childbearing years (well, she has), but they love children. They decided to start doing respite foster care earlier this year (they only get the kids two weekends a month, to relieve the real foster parents). They take care of 3 siblings; two girls 9 and 11, and a 7 year-old boy. The kids are troubled, but very cute and a lot of fun. I've heard especially funny stories about the little boy.
One day, the boy was in the living room with my uncle. The girls were in a nearby room playing and making a racket. The boy scolded them, "You better quiet down! I have an adult in here, and I'm not afraid to use him!"
