That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 07, 2018

The new pledge has arrived at the sorority house.

Before Mary Poppins starts any new job, she takes a hit of her “magic” potion.

The new girl hasn’t even entered the house yet, but the gossip is already in play.

So! That’s what made Mary Poppins fly!

Worst post-Labor Day Party ever.

Wait ’til she finds out we changed the lock.

The new parlor maid was slightly overdressed for her first day on the job, not to mention she should have gone ‘round to the servant’s entrance.

Oh No! If it’s not the Mormons, it the Jehovah Witnesses. Everybody hide!

Mom, should I go out and water her hat?

“I tell ya, Jenny, she’s out there acting like she is texting on a phone and they haven’t been invented yet!”

If the bag on the ground isn’t full of oxy, she didn’t bring enough.

Running for the shelter of her Mothers’ Little Helper…

Damn hangnail.

Now I must remember – for this job, I’m Miss Montague, not Clara Oswald

The kids are laying bets on how long this one will last. “Hey, Nigel, remember that thing you can do with your thumb and your eyeball and scraps from the butcher?”

They told her that she would be caring for two lovely girls. They didn’t mention the quintuplets upstairs.

“If they haven’t opened the door in two minutes, I’m out of here.”

A tragic moment: young Griselda Gruenspan blows her big chance in films, fumbling the door key in her screen test for the Mary Poppins role. The job goes to Julie Andrews, and the rest is history !

Don’t worry, she is blind as a bat, she’ll never see the plastic wrap we stretched across the doorway- giggle….

the newly married countess hopes the staff will like her.

If she’s a governess, why is she wearing white? The kids will stain her tie-died by the end of the first day

Oxycontin.

I’d actually recommend Xanax – for the kids! (Unless she is somehow able to obtain some general anesthetic).
