[quote=Anonymous]I was going to say it depends on whether I think the person I'm talking to will have instant recall on my nanny's name, and generally that list of people is pretty small. The other family in the share, my son, my parents, a couple super close friends we see a lot. The rest I say "the nanny" for clarity. Same thing with, for example, my brother. For most people, I say my brother, not Andrew, because he lives far away and I don't expect people to remember his name. I'm sure that means that I say "the nanny" to a lot of people who DO know their name, just cause I'm not keeping a careful list in my head of who knows what and how good their memory is. So someone calling her nanny "the nanny" to you, even if you know her name, sounds perfectly reasonable to me. However. Is Laura taking Larlo to the park?" They will respond "The nanny will be there at 2" That's WEIRD and tells me they NEVER user her name. Which probably means something weird. [/quote]
