Next time, you can leave the details out
posted in Child Care, Mom Rants |Actual Conversation:
Nanny: “Hi Sara, I have a problem”
Me: “What?”
Nanny: “I just got my period and I bled everywhere so I’m washing my clothes. And wrapped myself in one of your towels. Do you have any tampons? Oh, and Junior’s in the crib so he doesn’t walk anywhere. And, I washed my hands thoroughly.”
Me: “Ok.” [What the F**!!$$$???]
Nanny: “Anyway, so I’m calling because I won’t be able to take Junior to Gymboree this afternoon.”
Me: “Ok.” [This the lamest excuse I’ve ever heard to get out of going to a Mommy and Me class.]
Nanny: “Thanks for understanding, this is so personal, you know.”
Me: “Ok.” [Is this conversation OVER yet?]
Preferred Conversation:
Nanny: “Something personal came up that I don’t need to give you the gory details about and I cannot take Junior to Gymboree today. Is it ok if I do a make-up class instead? I will call to find out what the alternative classes are.”
Me: “Yes, of course.” [Good! She’s so responsible!]
Junior: “Cheeeeeese”
At least now I know she’s not pregnant. Uh, oh, did I just say that?
