Nanny 911 has to be some kind of pornography...

...and I for one cannot get enough of it!

Seriously though, even when you know that every episode has a happy ending, at least to some degree (man, they could make a whole separate show about how terribly these families must relapse), they rope you in EVERY TIME.

The kids in this episode are entirely rotten. Case in point, mom took the kids out to lunch and the little jerks stole the tip! I often think about the times we were terrible to our parents growing up, and I remember why we never would have dreamed of hitting our mother, or screaming that we hated our father.

Two stories come to mind.

1.) My brother was being rotten to our mother all day, defying her as she was trying to get him dressed and on his way to soccer practice. They finally got in the car and made it to the soccer field without any incident.

As she turned off the car, Buddy said, "Mom, come here, I have a secret to tell you."
She leaned over to hear what it was to have Buddy scream in her ear as loud as he could.

I don't know if you'd describe what happened as a spanking or severe ass paddling, needless to say, Buddy missed soccer practice.

2.) We had just moved into our house in West Linn, like, everything still in boxes just moved in. We were having dinner that night, and I got mad about something and I ran upstairs and slammed the door to my room. The door to the really nice new house my parents had just bought. By the impending footsteps, I knew I had screwed up.

My dad arrived in the room in a mood that would be expected. I was not and never have been a small guy, but he managed to lift me up by my armpits and explain to me why slamming the door was unacceptable. That was the last time time I slammed the door, and I think the last time I ever heard that tone of voice.

I find myself unconvinced that the Moores will continue the progress they made. Here's hoping for you guys!

Nanny Stella is a good one, her accent is by far the best of the three. Nanny Deb is by far the best of the 3 (mostly because of how she regulates). I think we can all agree that Nanny Yvonne just sucks.

Curse you, CMT, for having this show on one after another after another after another...
