The Nanny Diaries is a movie about a girl named Annie, (Annie the Nanny, ha!), who becomes a nanny against her will, forcing to live with a little brat 24/7. Being the baby of the family, I never had the chance to deal with kids. They are cute from a reasonable distance, but entering in their world is not always rewarding.

Here are some freaky things that these little raisins told to their nannies and/or babysitters:

1- "I once babysat a girl named Louise who used to love when I went round. Her Mom used to tell me how she preferred me over the others. One day, she went even further and said: "When you die I want to put you in a glass jar so I can keep you and see you forever."

2-"I was holding my friend's 3-year-old son and he said, very solemnly, "I promise I won’t ever chew on your bones. I promise."

3- "I was babysitting my friend's kids. The youngest, aged 5,  drew a picture of a woman hanging from the ceiling, looked up at me and said, "She told me to draw this. She's coming for you. Hide.""

4- "I was watching a kid who woke up in the middle of the night crying about something under his bed. I checked and told him, "Go back to sleep, there's nothing under there." He said: "He's behind you now.""

5- "I was watching my nephew and I asked him what he was drawing. he said: "A skeleton making machine" I looked at his drawing and it revealed that he was not drawing a skeleton-maker, he was designing a flesh removal machine."

6- 'I was looking through my school yearbook with my 4-year-old cousin. Suddenly, she pointed to a boy's picture and said, "That looks just like Nicolas!" When I asked who he was she just said, "The boy in my closet" and continued to look through the pictures. I nearly died."

7- "I was babysitting a kid and we were watching TV. Suddenly,  he turned it off and stared at the wall behind him. After almost three minutes he said, "not now." and continued watching TV. A minute passed and he looked at the wall again and said, "I'll see you later ok?!" 

8- "I lost my husband in an accident. One day I was crying while looking at our pictures. His cousin sat beside me and asked why I was crying. "I miss him so much." was my response. She said:" why? He is sitting at the doorstep."

Yikes!
