OHMYGOD! I just read the article, and it reads as though I am completely seriously saying that these people should be boiled in oil! Ha, ha, ha! I wonder if they will put in a quote from me soon, mentioning how I intend to ship my current au pair home to Lithuania in a crate - have they no sense of humour? I mean, everyone knows that au pairs must pay for their own transportation home, if she chooses to travel by crate - who am I to argue? DM
