I spent yesterday morning at the coffee shop where I do my writing . I had three glorious , child - free hours , half of which was spent having coffee with a friend . The babysitter I hired two weeks ago came at 8:30 , and I delivered Shaggy into her capable hands , gave her the TV remote and left with The Poo in tow . I left the girl at school and made my way to my " office . " As I pulled into a parking spot and fed the meter , I felt the tension in my shoulders begin to lessen .

Question: What may be the reason for them hiring a babysitter ?
Answer: They needed to see their friend .They needed to get their writing done .None of the above choices .They needed to go to a coffee shop without their kids .
