Nanny X Returns (2015)
“Alison Nanny X Reels One In Eliza had no idea what to do with that fish. She didn’t even realize she’d caught one. For all she knew, there was a sea monster on the end of that line. Or a cantaloupe. She puckered her lips and her eyebrows got all wavy as the fishing rod bent toward the water.
“Pull, Eliza,” I said. “Pull it up.”
But I guess all of that movement on the end of the line was too scary.
“Bad,” Eliza said, as the end of the pole dipped down and the reel started spinning. Eliza threw t...he rod on the floor of the canoe.
Nanny X snatched it up and turned the handle. I suppose I should stop being surprised when Nanny X moves quickly. It’s like a snake stalking a mouse: slow, slow, and then bam.
Jake leaned over the side of the canoe—hadn’t he learned his lesson?—and reported on her progress like a sports announcer.
“It’s moving through the water. It’s almost here. Closer. Closer. I can see it!”
And then so could we. Nanny X reached down and grabbed the line with her hand.MoreLess
