Hi Mommies & Daddies,
I have to share something I witnessed today because if it was my baby I would like to know.
I was walking down 79Th Street between 3rd and 4Th Ave. and I walked past a nanny, blonde, in her 60's, wearing a white or ivory winter jacket and a beret of the same color. She was walking a baby boy with a navy blue stroller with some navy blue plaid and had a red stroller blanket with white thingies as a pattern. She stopped for a minute and lit up a cigarette. She smoked while walking this child and with the wind direction the smoke was probably getting to him.
If the mommy or daddy of this baby knows this nanny smokes in front of their child, then please disregard this message.
Where is there a 4th Avenue in New York? Are you talking about Brooklyn, New York? Because when you say New York-people think Manhattan
ReplyDeleteBrooklyn, Bay Ridge
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like his grandmother.
ReplyDelete^^Then you should say you saw this in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn-don't say New York-how can anyone take a post of yours seriously if you don't even know where you spotted the people.
ReplyDeleteHere's the deal, people. Whether the parents know or not, whether it's a grandmother, aunt or cousin --- it's wrong. And that's the point, people.
ReplyDeleteThis post was originally sent around the Bay Ridge Brooklyn Parent's Group- so get over yourselves!
ReplyDeletea 60 year old blonde, smoking a long cool menthol?
ReplyDeletethat sounds hot.
who do you think you are jackie? The Supreme Omnipotent One? Get over yourself.
ReplyDeleteLorenza,
ReplyDeleteWTF? are you talking about?
Or can you not hear me with that bushel of bananas on your head?
The OP said in the title of her story "Brooklyn, New York".
ReplyDelete^^No-that must have been changed recently-it did not say that when the post first went up-maybe the blog owner changed it-which isn't cool-makes people look crazy!
ReplyDeleteyou people are crazy
ReplyDeleteI incorrectly labeled the post when it first went up!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the confusion.
Hmm . . . such a clever New Yorker. If you were a MORE clever New Yorker, you'd know there IS a 4th avenue in NYC -- just not as far north as 79th Street. Which, if you were a more clever New Yorker, you'd then be able to deduce that the OP was referring to Brooklyn (which, BTW, is one of the 5 boroughs of New York City).
ReplyDeleteYes, I am clever enough to know that there is no 79th Street and 4th Avenue in New York, New York, and also clever enough to know that people who live in New York do not call Brooklyn, New York, New York new york. Sheesh
ReplyDeleteLike I said! You folks are nutz!
ReplyDeleteSmoking is an attractive attribute, and it's good for you! Children should be exposed to it at a very early age, an should be encouraged to take it by the fourth grade.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever hear what happened to the Marlboro Man?
ReplyDeleteDid you hear about the two men who were arrested for teaching 2 and 5 year old boys how to smoke pot? And they video taped it because they thought it was hysterical (and possibly because they were HIGH). Idiots. And, yes, they were babysitting!
ReplyDeleteUmm...What are the dangers of smoking around children?
ReplyDeleteEVERYTHING!
