Careers Fair, Fandom High Front Lawn, Friday Afternoon, 07/21/06

By lunch time, the booths were set up, the guests had arrived and there was quaint music playing from somewhere undetermined. Hawkeye is walking around with one of those portable microphone/speaker set-ups, roaming from booth to booth announcing the various guests that have come to Fandom to talk about their professions.

And despite what the mainland weather forecast said, it was definitely a nice, fine day.

"It depends on the children," she said, blinking a little.

"If I was wee, would you nannify me if my parents asked?"

"You are not wee," she pointed out.

"I can be wee!" And he gets down on his knees. Yes, he really does.

Mary stared down at him, and said, "My heavens, you seem to have shrunk. Now, all good growing boys need medicine."

And she pulled out a bottle of something green.

"Oh damn," he says.

She poured a spoonful, and added something to it before offering it to him. "Drink up."

Re: CHILD CARE/NANNYING

He does because, what the hell, and grimaces immediately. "Wow, that's sour."

Re: CHILD CARE/NANNYING

[just-a-spoonful.livejournal.com]

"Is it?" she asked, frowning a little. "Well, it's good for you."

"It tastes like old peanut butter with sour cream and onion!"

Re: CHILD CARE/NANNYING

"...I'm sorry? That sounds...very odd and unpleasant. Oh dear. But now you'll grow up big and strong!"

John gags and gets up off his knees. "Thanks, Mar."

He gags again.

"Miss Poppins," she corrected.

Re: CHILD CARE/NANNYING

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Sure, fine, Miss Poopings," John grumbles, still tasting peanut butter and sour cream.

"That is not polite, young man," she said sternly, frowning at him. "On your way, now."

Re: CHILD CARE/NANNYING

"You're kicking me out?!"

Re: CHILD CARE/NANNYING

[just-a-spoonful.livejournal.com]

She made little shooing motions. "Run along."

"Remember the thing about Rita Skeeter," he says over his shoulder. "Find her! I'll give you thirty bucks!"

Re: CHILD CARE/NANNYING

"I don't need deer," she said, rolling her eyes and smoothing her skirt.

John scowls but walks away.
