The Nanny Diaries Page #5

Ay...

"Dear Nanny,

welcome!"

Please make note that from here on in,

I'm referred to as "Nanny" by all

the people in the Xs' social network.

I'm so excited to have you onboard.

Please make yourself

completely at home.

Manuel is making you

your own set of keys.

Mmm.

- You should have them by tomorrow.

The fridge

is well-stocked.

Tofu cutlets?

- Ugh.

- Help yourself to anything.

Yuck.

Sorry I could not

be there to meet you

but I'm trying to squeeze

in a little shopping

before my

Parents' Society meeting,

which reminds me...

please pick Grayer up

from the Christian preschool...

- Wow!

...at 2:
15 sharp.

It's extremely important

not to be late.

Ooh.

As you can see,

I have attached a list

of basic house rules.

Hello, Manolo.

- We believe it's important

to maintain some sense

of structure in our home

for Grayer's sake.

Rule number one:

Grayer and his playmates

are never allowed

- in the master bedroom.

- Oops.

Of course, you should refrain from

entering our bedroom as well.

Rule number two:

Grayer is never allowed

to nap during the day.

No naps?

This throws his sleeping

schedule completely off.

And I prefer him tired

when I get home.

Rule number three:

- we just had the walls redone.

- Mm-hm.

Please keep Grayer from

rubbing up against them.

- Oh!

- Rule number four:

if school is

ever canceled,

the following nonstructured

outings are permissible...

the Met,

the Morgan Library,

the French

Culinary Institute,

the New York

Stock Exchange.

Rule number five!

- we do not take

the subway because of germs.

Oh God.

Grayer still must

be in a stroller

- when crossing Park or Madison.

- Blah blah blah.

Grayer maintains

a high-soy

organic diet.

Rule number eight:

practice French with Grayer

at least three times a week.

His father wants him to

attend Collegiate

where he's currently

wait-listed.

French?

Holy merde.

His acceptance is

a top priority.

Mon Dieu.

Nanny?

Nanny?

- What are you doing?

- The note said

to pick up Grayer

from school at 2:15.

Hm.

And it's only...

it's only 1:
00.

So I was a little sweaty from moving

and I thought that I would, you know...

What I mean is, what are you

doing in that bathtub?

And why are your bags

strewn all over

the guest room?

I thought that

was my room.

No.

No, Nanny.

This is your room.

Oh.

Okay.

Yeah, this is...

very sweet.

Hmm.

I'm sorry.

Do you have the time?

2:
15.

So they'll be getting out

anytime now?
