Michael Bolton was Paula Abdul's babysitter!!

Ever wonder how singer Michael Bolton became such a great dad? Well according to ‘American Idol’ judge Paula Abdul, he learnt all his parenting skills babysitting her. Abdul, who was just seven years old when the future Grammy award winning singer became her babysitter, credited herself for all the ‘training’ he got while taking care of her. “He's a good father now and I think he got his training babysitting me... but I don't think he ever sang me to sleep," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying. "He used to call me a brat and I said he was the worst babysitter in the world, but I actually loved him. I was once wearing my cute little Brownies (Girl Scout) uniform. I stuck a pencil in my knee and Michael had to take me to the doctor,” she added. [NewKerala]
