AWAKENED TOO EARLY, the boys are cranky as hell as Ava jollies them into going potty then putting on their shoes. She has to promise ice cream to get them into the car. Clara’s Cadillac is custom-painted a pale mint green and clean as new. Ava drives slowly. She likes driving a rich lady’s Cadillac, pretending it is her car.

They wander around the mall for hours eating ice cream and candy, playing in the mall play space, riding the escalators. It’s not hard to entertain three-year-olds if you devote yourself to them utterly, and that is Ava’s job. At four o’clock, the boys have had enough of the mall, and Ava figures it is safe to take them home.

Driving home, she passes Chickadees, the daycare where she used to work in the two-year-old classroom. Do the potty dance, sing the alphabet, feed dollies. An exhausting, hard job, where the kidlets clung to her all day, banged on each other, screamed “no” and “mine” every other word. Nanny work is much easier.
