Any advice for babysitting a toddler for 6 hours-ish? (self.asklemmy)

Good friends of mine would like a reprieve so they can have their anniversary dinner. I've been a camp counsellor and was pretty good at it but those kids were all 6 years old, this one is 13 months old. Adorable kid but I figure maybe some folks here might have good ideas/thoughts/suggestions/crass jokes?

These are great ideas and I'm stoked to try them! Never heard of the pouring liquid idea but it makes total sense. As does NOT sharing keys or phone.

Also might sub classic ska for Raffi as part of my ongoing mission to give her the weird lest flashbacks when she meets stoners in college. (Last time when she was even younger we spent a half hour rocking to sleep to Burning Spear.)

I always listened to different genres with my son (still do)!
