“Welcome gentle reader. My name is Grace. Come close and I’ll tell you a little tale of life here in the C-R-I-B! Sssshhhhh. We must be sneaky. These babies to my right and left pretend that they are asleep. Hogwash! I have it on good authority that one handsome fella is a spy for the “other side” of campus. Word in the tub is that he’s moving to the big house soon and he’s trying to dig up "poo” on us to fit in with the cool kids over there. But whatever. I’ve got him all figured out!”
“But anyway, I’m really in a conundrum here. You see, life in the C-R-I-B at Nursery City is quite hectic. Everyone is in everyone else’s business. Just yesterday, I was woken up to the sounds of chatter by our friendly gossip Agness. Oh, she’ll swear that she’s not a gossip, but I can prove that she’s nothing more than an eavesdropper and troublemaker.”
“I am not an evesdropper or troublemaker! I don’t know what you are talking about. I am just a concerned citizen of Nursery City. Its not my fault that your crib touches mine. Take that up with Mayor Church.”
“See, gentle reader? Point made.” 
“Anyway, enough with my nosey neighbor, let me show you around my ‘hood. When people come to visit at Nursery City, they get all caught up in the bright lights and flashy cribs. But you don’t really know a place until you’ve seen it from the inside- out. Lets take this journey together, shall we?”
“I think that something is happening over there-“ 
“Ssshhhh, put your head down, and peek through the slats. Remember, you have to be stealth here at the C-R-I-B. Just keep quiet and BE COOL. No one will suspect that you are watching anything. Come, take a look from my perspective…”
“Nuthin’ from this view… lets take a look from another angle.”
“Man, I’m looking around and still I don’t see what’s up? But I can hear Agness chattering in my ear again. What is up with that girl???? So annoying!”
“ Ah ha! Spotted! The woman in blue. I heard my nanny say her name was Ashley. Honestly, I don’t know WHAT is up with her? She is always so happy and singing and helpful. Just look at her … she’s making funny faces at Joshua. Its so uncouth. I mean, what’s next? Prompt nappie changes and warm bottles? Gosh, they just let anyone in this town. Well, there goes the neighborhood…”
“Ok, gentle reader, Agness is chatting in my ear… something about ‘giving a better tour’ or ‘I have a prettier smile, all the visitors love me’ nonsense. I don’t want my cover blown, so I am just going to let Agness take over for a little bit. Until later… here’s Aggie!”
“Its about time you recognize! Oh hi readers! Agness here, let me tell you a little about Nursery City. Everyone is so helpful and friendly. Nothing too crazy happens here. Its just all….
“…relaxation with friends….” 
“… times spent in intellectual thought……” 
“I guess Nursery City isn’t for the faint at heart. I don’t know what that old cynic, Gracie, told you. But life here in the C-R-I-B is really great. I love being here and you will too. So stop by for a visit. And maybe you can help me figure out what that busy-body Grace is up to. I know she has a plan cooking! Word in the bouncy chair park is that she’s a spy for the big house! But ssshhhhh! You didn’t hear that from me!”
