Do you think my husband is hot?

Craziest job interview question I have ever gotten was..Do you think my husband is hot?

I am a live-in Nanny and was looking to relocate so had to do the dreaded interviews, most are all the "new" parent questions but once I thought the interview was coming to an end the Mother looked at me and with a straight face and said "Do you think my husband is hot?" At first I sat waiting for the laugh but to my amazement she was really asking that question.

Lots of answers and my own questions are running through my head now..okay where was that front door again, did I tell my family the address I was going to, the nanny agency knows I am here...I pulled all my thoughts together and looked her in the eyes (trying not to look at him) and responded with you have a very handsome family you all are picture perfect.

Mother then says yes but is my husband hot to you, I don't want you two sleeping together. With that (and all my hairs standing up) I said No that will not be a problem I am gay. I figured I would either freak them out as they are me or have them laughing.

I quickly finished the interview off with thank you I look forward to hearing from you. Once out of the house, knowing I was safe in my car driving away I called agency to let them know of the issue. The only tip I can give is stay calm and get out of situation fast.
