I Went Home.
I turned on the TV.
I watched a nanny
Walk into a stranger’s house
And start telling them
How to raise their kids.
She yelled.
She screamed.
She demanded
That the whole family
Do everything
Her way.
Only her way.
And they thought she was
Wonderful.
I went into preschool
Calmly, quietly suggested
To my student’s parents
That their potty-trained girl
Shouldn’t have to wear diapers.
And they thought I was
Rude.
Wrong.
Terminated.
