Not sure what to say?

My parents were good friends with Sherman´s parents, so Sherman was like my older brother. One Christmas Eve, when I was six years old, my parents went to a holiday party. They asked if the older and wiser nine-year-old Sherman could, "keep an eye on me at our house." Well...what could possibly go wrong with these two left alone?
