Family movie night here and we all just watched "Nanny McPhee." Seven ill-behaved children become model tykes when the toothsome Nanny McPhee takes charge. Clever script by Emma Thompson (except for the silly food fight scene), who plays the wart-ridden title character. Her hag appearance changes as the children learn to say please, thank you and how to finally behave. Nanny McPhee becomes radiant and wartless. My kids are polite and fairly well behaved and I'm changing every day, too. Just not into a svelte movie star. My shoulders stoop with fatigue, the hair is rarely brushed, and these hips gained a few inches during labor. No warts, though. That's something.
