"Are you the nanny?"..."Yes I am, my first pay check will come any day now!"

So a while ago I got asked the question, the one that inwardly has me visioning a nice

karate kick to the head.....

"Are you her nanny?"

First off, let me paint the setting.

I am walking the dog..

in my Mom jeans..

with a muffin top..

(this is some other poor soul's not mine)

wearing my moby wrap..

all signs point to your stereotypical Mom.

my answer.... "ummm no"

Some thought-up answers a month afterwards.

"Yeah I am such a great nanny I even gave birth to her!"

"Yup 24/7 Nanny"

"umm are you blind?"

"Nope, want to see my stretch marks?"

"Oh I knew I forgot to return something"

The thing is that person meant no harm.

And the other thing is I DONT want my kids to look like me.

Lets face it folks, I was never in the run for being a beauty queen.

When I first started college I remember reading an article about

how people subconsciously date others that have features one would

want for their offspring. It made total sense to me.

It's providing a better life for your kids before they are even in-utero.

When Ha Jyn came out with brown eyes and brown hair, I was ecstatic.

Not saying that I only married Boo for his good looks. ( I really married

him for his money)

But I was just excited that she has brown eyes that sparkle

and that they don't bulge out so much that people think she has

graves disease. (like mine)

At the same time I want it to be very clear that I am my babies mom!

I don't want any one else to have that right.

So the solution.. Clairol Number 68.

Haven't been asked since.
