There are several possibilities. First, the nurse's story went on and on when Lady Capulet wanted to get to the point and talk about the possibility of Juliet marrying Paris. Secondly, the nurse is one of those annoying people who is not satisfied with telling a joke once; she has to repeat the punchline over and over again, with remarks about how funny she thought it was. The nurse repeats this joke three times: if I were Lady Capulet I'd want to strangle her.

Finally, and most importantly, it's a dirty joke. When Juliet was about two, apparently, she fell on her face and the Nurse's husband said to her (paraphrasing freely) "You may lie on your face now, but you'll lie on your back for men when you're older" upon which Juliet stopped crying and said "Yes". Not only must the Nurse's husband have been an odious and sleazy man to conduct a conversation of this kind with a two-year old (nowadays it might get your children taken away by the authorities), but this greasy and distasteful anecdote does not set the tone Lady Capulet was looking for when addressing the question "How stands your disposition to be married?"

Lady Capulet asked the nurse to leave to have a private conversation with Juliet about her marriage proposal. She then called the nurse back to seek her advice and support in handling the situation and discussing the proposal further with Juliet.

Why does lady Capulet want the nurse to come right back after just telling her to leave so she could speak to Juliet in private?

Mrs. Capulet has left the raising of her daughter totally to the Nurse. She has never had any kind of one-on-one relationship with Juliet and it makes her nervous. She falls back on getting the Nurse in there to ease her discomfort.

What is juliet's nurse called?

She is referred to throughout the script as "Nurse". Some people have become interested in this section of Act 4 Scene 4Enter Lady Capulet and NurseLady: Hold, take these keys and fetch more spices, nurse.Nurse: They call for dates and quinces in the pastryEnter CapuletCapulet: Come, stir, stir, stir. The second cock hath crowed,The curfew bell hath wrung, 'tis three o'clock.Look to the baked meats, good AngelicaSpare not for cost.Nurse: Go, you cot-quean go,Get you to bed!From this some people have deduced that the Nurse's name is Angelica. But she is not the only woman on stage that Capulet could be addressing; he could be talking to Lady Capulet. Her name is not elsewhere given and it is more likely that Capulet would address her by her given name than the Nurse. Indeed in the First Quarto, he responds to the Nurse's "Go you cot-quean go" with the line "I warrant thee Nurse I have ere now watched all night, and have taken no harm at all". It seems strange that he would call her Angelica in one line and Nurse in the next, which makes it seem more likely that the name is Lady Capulet's.
