“YOU MAKE THE CUTEST WEST INDIAN NANNY”
-ELLE CLAY (April 2010)

for those of you who might not get that joke, it is very common in NEW YORK CITY to hire WEST INDIAN women to care for your children. i was unaware of that fact when i first moved to NYC and assumed all these women of color had just adopted these cute white kids.

    I never knew people actually used the word “nanny”! I thought it was just a word they used in movies or something. Man, I gotta get out of the midwest more often…

    Sunny, clearly you don’t read this blog often. She knows its not a word and explained that it was funny to use it because of that very reason.
