In the original article for the novel Let's Go Play at the Adams' the location for the story was stated as a suburb. That is not correct. I'm sure I've seen it stated that the closest neighbor was at least a quarter-mile away. That computes that the Adams have at least 20 acres of land. Suburb lots max out at about 0.5 acres. Above that it is rural. Thus the location of the story is definitely rural. I made an edit to the article to correct that.
Also in the original article for the same story the babysitter's ordeal is said to be overnight. That is wrong. The parents are away in Europe for 2 weeks so the babysitter is hired to take care of the kids for 2 weeks. Not overnight.
I added to the same article that the babysitter was an adult college student to avoid any confusion that the babysitter might be a minor. The correct age range is important to the story since in part the story includes the conflict of an adult vs kids.
