The Kiss that Sparked it All

The nanny, alarmed by the commotion, rushed in, full of worry.

After witnessing the situation, she tried to mediate and calm Patricia down, “Ms. Howard, what’s the matter? Did Baber piss you off again? He’s just a kid; he doesn’t know better. Please don’t pick on a child.”

Patricia was in no mood to see anyone at that moment, and she snapped, “I told you to get out! Who let you back in here? Who do you think you are to give me your two cents?”

The nanny quickly lowered her head, responding with respect, “Ms. Howard, I wouldn’t dare…”

Patricia, with nowhere to vent her anger, suddenly slapped the nanny, “You wouldn’t dare? You wouldn’t dare, yet you just waltzed in here! I hired you to take care of my child, look at what you’ve done to him! He cries the moment he sees me! Am I a monster or a demon that he’s so scared of me? I bet you’ve been filling his head with nonsense!”

The nanny clutched her face in pain and tried to explain, ‘Ms. Howard, I didn’t teach Baber anything bad… It’s normal for you to be a bit impatient with the kid sometimes since you’re a first-time mom. If you were a bit more patient with Baber, he wouldn’t be scared of you.”

Patricia slapped her again, “You’re saying I don’t have patience? Do I need you to teach me how to be a good mother? Look at yourself. Who do you think you are?!”
