Never Too Young To Say You’re Too Old

(This happens while I am a nanny. Although I really want children at some point, I am only 21. One of the boys I’m a nanny for, four years old, comes up to me while I’m making them their snacks.)

Boy: “Miss [My Name], I really like you for a nanny. Are you a mommy and a nanny?”

Me: “No, I’m just a nanny right now. Why?”

Boy: “You would be a good mommy.”

Me: “Thank you. That’s very nice of you to say.”

Boy: “Why aren’t you a mommy?”

Me: “Because I haven’t found a good daddy yet.”

Boy: “Well, you’d better hurry, because pretty soon you’ll be too old to become a mommy.”
