Not nice experiences there, since I actually could understand what they said and would not do their job for them.<br /><br />That aside, I have an aunt living well-off in a Caucasian environment (won't say country) who married a Caucasian man and had fairly white children (in spite she is quite tan herself). Well, it so happens that one day she was going to the park with her kids when a lady approached her asking how much she charged (as a nanny). My aunt, who is a very capable professional, didn't take it the wrong way, since it's become somewhat of a family joke.<br /><br />Just thought I'd share. I'd love to see the face on that woman when my aunt explained they were hers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-71493573334956375282010-07-14T10:27:22.242-07:002010-07-14T10:27:22.242-07:00I don't live in a city environment.

I would never have gotten the original joke. If I saw a black woman with a white child, I would have assumed she had a white husband (or son-in-law, depending on her age).Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977594123701929719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-9020652635256348682010-07-14T07:56:22.115-07:002010-07-14T07:56:22.115-07:00Let's just say I was disappointed by the image...Let's just say I was disappointed by the image you chose for the "Making babies" link.Plan 9 Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14678590363437754073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-34778387700719573422010-07-13T19:05:58.016-07:002010-07-13T19:05:58.016-07:00might be sarcasm, but doesn't mean it's no...might be sarcasm, but doesn't mean it's not true.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03942502449985475645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-71026802412772318092010-07-13T14:39:55.487-07:002010-07-13T14:39:55.487-07:00Sarcasm?

People just can't handle the truth...<br />(I relished time with my middle-aged El Salvadoran nanny/maid Conchi so much, I learned to make the tub & toilet sparkle, get out those stubborn grass stains, clean dirty pans 'til they shined like new, iron a shirt like a pro & appreciate 'Days of our Lives.' She spoke no English, so most of our time were spent with these and other unspoken activities.)Ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618099927069539569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-65717530054306331552010-07-13T09:36:10.078-07:002010-07-13T09:36:10.078-07:00Yeah...I can see how that one would cause confusio...Yeah...I can see how that one would cause confusion. The Nanny angle was a good idea. I didn't get that off the cartoon though. Keep it on the shelf till you finds the right way to do it though.

Race aside, the first was just a little too obscure and people really wouldn't get it.<br /><br />Besides, among the young-and-entitled crowd these days, the real surprise is seeing an Asian child with ... Asian parents! Apparently, they manage to obtain them with a great deal less paperwork and they don't have to travel to China. <br /><br />But I don't think you're allowed to make jokes about it.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807727819590358834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-65131803581171694312010-07-13T09:10:33.684-07:002010-07-13T09:10:33.684-07:00WordWordZucchini Breathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18064779292183692168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-42572124396268599052010-07-13T08:53:56.110-07:002010-07-13T08:53:56.110-07:00Hi,
