The Seinfeld Babysitting Question
May 18th, 2008
If you had to have one of the characters from Seinfeld babysit your kids (or take care of your dog while on vacation) who would it be?
And if your choice is Jerry, give me a follow up choice and why.
I’m still not sure which one I’d choose.
Newman. Don’t ask me why.

If the kids are over 5 years old - Kramer, he would seem normal to them. If under 5, Elaine, she took such good care of Mr. Pitt, picking the salt off his pretzels etc.

See, I’d go Puddy.
He’s totally no nonsense. He wouldn’t take crap from no kids.

That one really sound-seeming doorman.

I’m no fun, sorry.

Catherine - I have NO idea what you just said.

Frank and Estelle Castanza. I figure my kids could use a good lesson in Festivus.

Definitely not Kramer. Or Elaine. Or, god help us, George.
If not Jerry, then I vote for J. Peterman. If anything, he could bore the kid to sleep with his travelogues. I would not be concerned about the kid being left at a bus stop or a soup establishment or worry about him licking something potentially lethal.

I’d totally leave my kids with Man Hands. She looked strong and capable.

Elaine so she could teach them how NOT to dance and how to spare a square.

Is this a practical question, or a hypothetical one?

I’m going with the Bubble Boy. A bubble is just a giant crib/bounce house.
Or, I could always call my brother to baby sit…J. Peterman.

Kramer. hands down.
People always gravitated to his character.
