"The Au pair That Knew Too Much"

This is a story of an young girl who decided to one day open her heart to a family in Italy and help with their adorable little girls. Both were very attached to the mother in which was the plan for the au pair to make them comfortable with the surroundings while in her company. The father was a traveling salesman that worked many hours and was frequently away on trips. Leaving the family of three alone with this young smart girl to assist in the daily living of their Italian life.

The catch phrase of the younger one has become "ecco faccio" after everything she completed in playtime. The older child became more and more comfortable with the young girl in that she spoke more english with her than when the she first arrived in the household. How fabulous! This is exactly what the mother wanted. Yippppeee!!!

Although her primary job was to take care of the girls, teach them english, and play with them. She also cleaned the girls room and kitchen and the main rooms when needed to be tidied up.

This got to be a regular job and the young girl got used to the pressure to keep things tidy. Then the day came when the mother would become frustrated with her own life and take a portion of that out on the young girl who knew too much about life than to be treated in a certain way. That was both rude and without reason. Never uttered an apology once from the treatment given to the young girl who knew too much.

In the end the young girl realizes her life in Italy does not need to contain this family of frustration and pure dissatisfication of the her work. Her work in life is to find happiness in the path she has chosen for herself. The au pair that knew too much lives on in Italy until the time is spent and when she must return to her roots and concentrate again on herself and her goals in life. Please don't worry about the young girl, she knows her role in this play and will play her best part ever to please the audience aforementioned.

To be continued....

Thanks to Tina once again!

I love this story! What would make it even better would be where the young girl plans the ultimate revenge!

I'm so glad you've learned so much about yourself through an adventurous year! I do hope to meet in Italy sometime since I know we'll be coming and going around the same time :)

In bocca al lupo!

Haven't read your blog in a long time. Saw you log into Italian Fever the other day and it reminded me to have a look at how you were doing. Sorry to hear it hasn't all gone to plan. Seems like you've got your head screwed on though, and I'm sure there are bigger and better things to come. Good luck.
