Today I learned I am definitely the dumb white bitch in scary movies
So, two years ago I nannied for a mom while she was between nannies for about three weeks. Mon - Friday from 6am to 4pm, it was awful, but at least I got to nap when the kid did.
One day me and my little 17 month homie are playing with cars in the living room. The dog begins losing it’s shit. And not just normal barking - growling and jumping and barking super loud at the top of the stairs.
Huh - that’s weird considering the dog is usually silent and sleeping. So I brushed it off for like a minute or so, until he kept fucking going. Naturally, I’m freaking out now, so I grab the baby and we looked around upstairs for ghosts/murderers (According to my friends - this was the first dumb bitch move - they’re right.)
Then I went back downstairs because nothing was up there and we kept playing. Thirty minutes later it was time for him to eat lunch. I sprinted down to the basement really fast to grab something (Yeah - I left the kid for like 30 seconds, fucking fight me about me).
Literally the second I get to the bottom of the stairs there is an aggressive pounding on the front door and the dog loses his shit again. I sprinted back up the stairs and grabbed the kid (who was now crying at the top of the stairs - yeah, I know, I’m a dick for leaving him - eat shit). And apparently this is when I should have considered calling someone because get this, the door is shut, the screen door is shut, and there is no package or sign of humans. (And that was dumb bitch move two)
Instead, I searched the house again. Peaked outside, and you bet your ass we went out for lunch and spent the rest of the day at the park (including a stroller nap) because yeah - no fucking way.
So, yeah. I didn’t realize who shittily I handled the entire thing until it wasn’t pointed out to me. Welp, everyone is still alive... so cheers! :)
