Playing no-nonsense nanny Mary Poppins — famously described as “practically perfect in every way” — seems to have gone to Emily Blunt’s head.

And the funny thing is, it worked! People started anticipating tasks that needed doing before Emily could get around to pointing them out.” No word on whether a spoonful of sugar was involved.
