The picture tells the story of a teen-age babysitter who was working on a report for her American history course, sipping on a bottle of Coke, enjoying the quiet while the baby slept. But, then, the baby awoke and began to cry. She tried appeasing the infant with rattles, a teddy bear and a doll but, at 11:40 p.m., the baby was still crying. Frazzled, the teenager holds the baby on her lap, and a book in her hand, Hints to the Baby Sitter, trying to find a solution for her dilemma.
