Alex: Okay, so how many families have you worked for, Mia? Mia: Three, all with infants. Alex: What would you say your strengths are? Mia: Well, let's see. I'm very punctual, I'm patient, I'm very good at sterilizing stuff... and I'm non-threatening to moms. Alex: I'll be the judge of that.

That was actually a very kind and tactful thing for Alex to say, like Sherm’s quick-thinking response to Leo when they were discussing the dangers of allowing hot babes in the studio.

While Mr. Trudeau is a far, far better artist than I, I can never tell if the women he draws are supposed to be good looking or not. I mean, this “non-threatening” Mia looks a lot like “super hot” Drew.

It would be rude to tell a woman she was nonthreatening since that would be the same as calling her plain, homely or ugly. .Alex is effectively complementing her without yet sending her packing.

A sad commentary on society when real Americans are allowed to take jobs away from undocumented workers. Does she even speak Spanish?
David Huie Green AmericaIsGreatItHasUs over 10 years ago
Nope, baby sitter/nanny was also talking about being less of a “hot babe”.Alex feels all other females are hotter babes than she is.(We know better, but on this subject, she is irrational.)
