Nanny Dearest pushing a green McClaren Stroller containing a red-headed male child down 96th and passing me on Columbus Avenue where she whilst gabbing on her cellphone ran over the foot of my five year old daughter. So busy was she, that upon hearing the child screech, she turned and gave us the "what's up" nod and then continued on her path. This happened at 10:17 AM. Nanny was wearing New York Mets Jersey over a long sleeve shirt, jeans and work boots.
Why didn't you say anything to her? Like, "Hey you ran over my childs foot please apologize?"
ReplyDeletelots of people out today.
ReplyDeletebesides, instinct is to respond to child. just guessing.
I just read an article I think you should feature here. The rich & famous are supposedly now all about using Swiss nannies. And they have nannagers which is like a head nanny that manages the other nannies. other nannies?
ReplyDeletepriceless!
Joy, what is your purpose in posting this here? There are mommy chat boards where you can express your resentment of the wealthy.
ReplyDeleteWe've all had that happen to us, most just let it go. People don't always realize that they have just bumped into someone or run over a foot, so why tattle on someone's nanny? I just explain to my children that sometimes accidents happen, they will recover and forget within seconds. If I were the one who did the running over, I would apologize. But the people who demand apologies for something so trivial are the rude ones in my opinion.
ReplyDeletewasn't joy talking about the rich and famous??? A far cry from the wealthy.
ReplyDeleteYou were obviously p'd and came home to type this up. I hope you feel better, how about your daughter??
ReplyDeletealso, re nutcase at 216,
She is talking about an article that came across the wire that has to do with A listers. Yes they do require an assistant nanny and they do of course have time off, yet they are responsible for managing the assistant nanny to cover these periods... blah blah blah. So unless you are an A Lister, don't bore me by feigning offense!
oh boo-hoo your nanny accidentally ran over my daughters foot. boo-friggin-hoo.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty rude. People are jerks.
ReplyDeletesnobby mcsnobster, get over it.
