The Nanny in the Marketplace

Growing up in Jakarta, Indonesia, we had a nanny/maid living with our family.  Her name was Yati (pronounced Yah-Teeh).  She was beautiful.  I would accompany her to the marketplace, and I noticed all the men turning their heads her way.  Wolf whistles and cat calls would ensue.  Another interesting thing I noticed... Merchants were more willing to give her a better price on things.  All she had to do was bat her eyelashes and act coy. Yeesh!
