Oh Nanny! It's like some kind of wacky sitcom.
My Nanny and Grandpa could be the stars in a sitcom. It would be called, "Oh That Nanny!" and there would be hijinks and nutty misunderstandings and mistaken identities and a laugh track. It would premiere at number 40 on the charts and then quickly get cancelled, but then people would discover it and it would become a cult favorite.
Here's one scene: I'm having dinner with Nanny, Grandpa, Kevin, my brother Matt, his girlfriend Cindy and her brother Sean. This was the first time meeting Sean, and Nanny was quite excited. Cindy and Sean are gorgeous and they are from Trinidad and Tobago.
Nanny has cooked up a storm and is delighted that Sean is enjoying her home-made perogies. She all but points to him and exclaims in delight, "Look! Look! He likes them!", obviously meaning, "Look! Brown people like our food!" This makes all of us (except Grandpa, who has slipped further into Dementia) giggle. Then we all happen to catch the 'WTF' expression on Kevin's face, which makes us burst out laughing. Then Grandpa said, "I hope we sell the house soon" and we all nod, despite the fact that the house was sold over two years ago and we were sitting in their apartment. Ah Dementia, why must you suck so bad?
After dinner Matt, Cindy and Sean left. Kevin and I were going to hang out with Kyle and his girlfriend Rachel. SInce they live so close by they walked over and came upstairs to say hello. After a short visit, we got up to leave. Nanny asked what we are going to do tonight and I told her, "Watch a movie, I guess."
"Oh," she says, "A sexy movie?"
Um...
I tilt my head at her. "Erm, no. Just a regular movie. Maybe a comedy."
(Cue laugh track)
