Book a Date with a Young’un

You don’t have a date and are low on cash, so you agreed to baby-sit your friend’s four kids tonight. (Yeah, that’s right: four.) Sure, you’re scoring major karma points, and your birthday gift probably just got about $50 bigger, but what are you going to do with them? Forget about popping in another DVD or trying to play Candy Land; you want to be known as the cool auntie. Pack the young ones into the van and head to Miami Children’s Museum for a Free Museum Evening from 6:00 to 8:30. The Governor’s Literacy Fair is sponsoring this free night of activities that will include book readings by local authors, a Robot Rodeo, and a curious “special guest.” (Hmmm ... we wonder who that could be.) The Miami-Dade Public Library System, Books & Books, and WPBT Channel 2 will all be on hand to share their love of literature. Call 305-373-5437, or visit www.miamichildrensmuseum.org.
