Nanny Uggee

When asked if Nanny is ugly or pretty, James unwaveringly responds that I am, in fact, ugly. Actually it’s more like ‘ugg-ee,’ but I get the hint. I’ve even tried posing the question several different ways: switching the order of ugly and pretty, omitting the word ugly alltogether, etc. My hope was that he was just responding with the freshest word in his head, so if I asked, “Is nanny pretty?” he’d be inclined to say pretty—or perhaps Yes or No. But nope—still ugly.

And they say children are always honest…

It’s okay though, because Miles is actually a liar. He often says something that he doesn’t mean, so I think that’s the case here. Or maybe he’s trying to make me jealous? Maybe there’s some other sexy chica that’s changing his diapers on the side.

God I hope not.

Or do I?
