[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This is actually quite true. It is only because my nanny cares for my most cherished [b]objects[/b] that she is spared this approach.[/quote]

Objects?[/quote]

That was not a parent who wrote that.[/quote]

Sadly, I suspect it [i]was[/i].[/quote]

I'm pretty sure it was a nanny trying to say that's what a parent would think, only no parent would actually say that. Not just the "object" part, the whole thing.[/quote]
Hahaha, I wrote that and I am indeed a parent, and I also thought the word sounded wrong; even googled trying to think of another, but "cherished person" is not a phrase. I finally decided that they are the "object" of my affections and therefore, while clunky, it's technically sound. Anyway, here's the definition:

anything that is visible or tangible and is relatively stable in form.
2.
a thing, person, or matter to which thought or action is directed: an object of medical investigation.
3.
the end toward which effort or action is directed; goal; purpose: Profit is the object of business.
4.
a person or thing with reference to the impression made on the mind or the feeling or emotion elicited in an observer: an object of curiosity and pity.
5.
anything that may be apprehended intellectually: objects of thought. [/quote]
