BEHIND THE NURSERY DOOR : The adventures of two rather tired Au Pairs and one rather errant but lovable Bad Bunny

10 things Bad Bunny now knows about retail.

Bad Bunny, with much newly acquired wisdom, brings you the top ten lessons he learnt whilst accompanying the Au Pairs on their retail jaunt last month.

Bad Bunny now considers himself quite the sage in matters of all things retail, and in selling ones wares to the discerning public. The Au Pairs, however, beg to differ, but unfortunately are unavailable for comment at this time. They can be found locked in their respective rooms with a damp flannel across their worried brows. Bad Bunny is not quite sure why they are refusing to speak to him.

  1. It is unacceptable behaviour to “borrow” babies in prams in an attempt to lure their mothers into the Nanny Pickle store.
  2. It is unacceptable behaviour to wheel clamp said prams whilst mothers are in the store, in an attempt to keep them from leaving.
  3. “Upselling” does not actually mean sneaking more items in the bag with other purchases nor does it mean harassing people deemed to be tall in order to sell them your wares.
  4. Whilst working in shopping centres, one must not joy ride on trolleys. It is not only dangerous, particularly on down ramps in car parks, but it appears to upset trolley boys.
  5. One must never, under any circumstances, repeat the Au Pairs private conversations to fellow shopkeepers, particularly when those conversations are about the fellow shopkeepers diabolical choice in attire, and their penchant for tattoos that they will inevitably regret later in life.
  6. Although it may have seemed like a good idea at the time, stealing trolley boys ocky straps in an attempt to turn them into bungee ropes so as one can bungee through the centre atrium only leads to very angry trolley boys. 
  7. Endeavouring to expand the public’s cultural mind by hijacking the central Personal Announcement System and becoming “DJ for a Day” is not tolerable conduct and is contrary to Centre Management’s Code.
  8. Locking the Au Pairs in the storeroom overnight is deemed a punishable act. Punishable too is repeating the words uttered by said Au Pairs once they were discovered by Centre Security.
  9. Asking large ladies when they are due requires discretion and forethought. Not all large ladies are indeed “with child”.
  10. Trolley boys do cry….especially when you hide the keys to their little trolley tractors.
For all those shoppers, trolley boys, fellow shopkeepers, security staff and sundry; Nanny Pickle profusely apologises for the errant behaviour of Bad Bunny during his time at Indooroopilly Shopping Centre. Be rest assured that the nervous tic you may or may not have developed will subside.

Kind Regards,
The Nursery Staff.

  2. Dear Jen,

    We will be returning...eventually. I think we both need to get over a month away from our families, the beach and the outdoors.

  3. I do love bad bunny and all his adventures. I giggle each time I read what he has been up to. I know its not right but I try to hide my face so he can't see that I find the naughty things he is doing funny... much like when my own children misbehave and it makes me laugh although to be a responsible Mummy I hid my face too.
    Bad Bunny you have inspired me to call my own lil one due soon my baby bunny xo

  4. Bad Bunny was bought into this world to remind us what it is to be a child. That fabulous wide eyed wonderment and the ability to interpret the word literally is what endears Bad Bunny to us. We often say that people who don't "get" Bad Bunny are not in touch with their own inner "Bad Bunny". We are so honoured that you have embraced Bad Bunny in the way that you have.
