Top 10 Random Thoughts About "SuperNanny"
1. The first 10 minutes are always the best because no matter who you are, you watch in horror and think to yourself "Thank goodness, these are NOT my kids," or "Thank goodness I never had kids."
2. Fifteen minutes into the show, I am crying like a baby with her mother, who looks like she hasn't showered or looked in the mirror since the last one was conceived.
3. My strong opinion is that kids quiet down and listen to Joe (I can't believe I know her name) because they have no idea what she is actually saying — it's like trying to break a secret pirate code for them for which you must be very, very quiet.
4. I love the cute little charts Joe creates, but I always wonder how a mother who hasn't had time to pee in the last three years will find the time to create those in 167 different colors.
5. You truly understand the term "outnumbered" when two parents try to chase down three kids over and over again to carry them to bed. Like a dying seagull, they desperately spread their arms in an attempt to cover as much territory as possible until at last one before falling flat on their faces shortly afterwards.
6. Memo to my growing-up daughter who will read this "Top 10" list: if you ever say "you are a bitch" to me, you will be sent to live with your distant relatives in Siberia...and there will be no second chance or first warning.
7. I don't think there is anything more frustrating in this world than a child sliding out of your arms like an oiled-up noodle while screaming at the top of his lungs and simultaneously kicking you.
8. I wonder if "SuperNanny" ever uses the term naughty chair outside the show. Ew, no, I really don't.
9. I love parents who announce on the show that they are pregnant...again. People, you are on "SuperNanny." It's time to take a break and figure out the first 6 kids you had back to back. It's like announcing on Jerry Springer show that you are moving deeper into the mountains of Kentucky. And when do you have time to have all that sex anyway?
10. Something tells me I will be on that show one day.
