The most important part about being a nanny...

I don't have a nanny moment yet but many teacher moments! One of my favorite is a parent and I were quietly discussing her child's use of profanity. Fortunately, the child had progress to my satisfaction however the parent was not pleased with the child's use of the "h" word still. At this moment another student yelled "oh! I know what the ' h' word is! I I've heard my daddy talk about it! Hemorrhoids!" Silly... but it got my funny bone.
