What’s with the Nanny?
Wednesday, December 5th, 2007
So it was revealed the other day that Ethan Hawke hooked up with the woman who used to be the nanny when he was married to Uma Thurman. I guess the caregiver contacted Ethan a year after his split from Uma to declare her feelings and the rest is history. “They are incredibly in love”, reports one of Hawke’s friends. Barf.
Jude Law and Robin Williams also hooked up with their respective nannies. And this phenomenon is not limited to the rich and famous. A friend of a friend took up with the babysitter, who, when I asked her what she did for a living, said she was a “student nurse”. Oh brother, two porno plots for the price of one!
What is it about the nanny that makes her so attractive? She just happens to be there and the kids already like her? Naughty au pair stories in Penthouse Forum? Men want to be babied (or spanked)? Erotic fantasies of Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music?
I don’t have a nanny (probably because I don’t have any children), but I do have some advice. Guys, the grass is always greener, so stick to mowing your own lawn. Nannies, what goes around, comes around. Ladies, when hiring a caregiver, make sure you hire Mrs. Doubtfire. If your hubby runs away with a middle-aged, cross-dressing man, well, you’re much better off without him. And there’s always your kids’ soccer coach or the pool boy or the UPS man…
Today’s bonus code is NANNY. It’s worth 100 Jack Nation points and you’ve got until December 7th to get ‘er done.
