As I recall, this incident led my husband Jim and me to rethink the continued employment of our rather sinister nanny Mrs. Baylock and on to the hiring (and sudden, unexplained departures) of a series of governesses - ending (for the time being) with our beloved Mrs Whipcrack. Say what you will about nazis, but sometimes the best child-rearing can only come from someone with ex-gestapo on their resume.
A MESSAGE FROM YOUR HOSTESS - Hello Kiddies -- Welcome to our fabulous cyberhome where we hope to entertain you with our delectable ramblings. Nothing too serious -- just whatever pops into our silly little head between laundry loads, dusting and a little vacuuming. Everything from the ridiculous to the sublime. So just sit yourself down in our gorgeously appointed living room and stay for a spell. But please remember to wipe your feet. (we just did the floors.) -- Air Kiss, HvR
