The park was blooming with the sound of innocent laughter of what seemed to be hundreds of kids, and with the loud admonitions and administrations of their nannies and parents. Burt and Emily sat on a bench facing the fountain quietly, just enjoying the peace that the loud, often raucous cackling brought them.
Burt was the first to speak. “This is so much fun,” he said in a blissful tone.
Emily smiled and replied, “I wish we could just keep sitting here, forever.”
They both looked at each other at the same time, and Burt said, “But Mom and Dad will be back home soon, so we’d better leave.”
Emily looked wistfully at the fountain, and said, “I don’t want to….but you are right. We need to leave. The park is the first place they’ll come searching for us when they discover the body of the nanny.”

I didn’t expect that ending. Yikes.
Ha ha ha. Thank you and sorry.
She probably told them to tidy their room or something. She brought it on herself.
Obviously. A nanny has no business telling her charges what to do 🙂
Hahahaha! I didn’t see that coming! Innocent little children until the end and they are murderers! LOL! Great story!
Wow, wonder what the nanny did to deserve that… if anything!
Who knows 🙂
