Evaluating Mary Poppins’ Job Performance

McSweeney’s:

While her communication skills are questionable, her judgment is completely unsound. In the past, she has neglected errands assigned to her, including hiring a piano tuner, purchasing gingerbread and shopping for fish, in favor of taking the children to visit one of her mentally incapacitated relatives, commonly referred to as “Uncle Albert.” This frivolous outing ended with my children being stricken with a similar illness, whose side effects include drinking tea on the ceiling. Similarly dangerous daytrips include horse racing and gallivanting on rooftops with dance crews of like-minded chimney sweeps. Worst of all, May Poppins deceived me into bringing my children into work at the bank with me.
