The Tale of an Ill-Gotten Nanny Cam

Helda Smackenburger was so nervous about leaving her two-year-old with a nanny that she decided to buy a nanny camera. Just browsing the malls for one instilled a certain amount of calm in her. She was certain she was doing the right thing. Sure there was a little nagging guilt about “spying” on the nanny, but when she weighed it against the chances of something terrible happening to her toddler, the guilt became justified. She found the perfect nanny camera in a store that also happened to sell faux-fur handcuffs. Helda thought she was looking at 3 foot teddy bears, so imagine her surprise when the young sales clerk proudly played back the video of her pawing at it. Helda was sold. It was the perfect nanny cam! What Helda didn’t take into consideration was the fact that her nanny had enough common sense to realize that a 3 foot teddy bear nailed to the kitchen countertop was a setup. Now, that same teddy bear is missing his left eye. The nanny cam is floating in a sewage swamp somewhere and Helda is in the process of hiring a new nanny. The moral of this story is…don’t buy nanny cams from stores that sell faux fur handcuffs. If you’re serious about installing a nanny camera, stick with high quality nanny cams purchased from reputable stores.
