The Funny Thread

[Annalee]

I'm closed July 1-5. Isn't it funny how families are a little "oh what will I do" without realizing it's simply a Friday, Monday and Tuesday. I'm NOT doing the figuring-out for them! They think it's a whole daycare week.

Common sense is a flower that doesn’t grow in everyone’s garden!!!!!!

Sent a notice about raising rates.
Assumed most parents would opt for 4 days at lesser rate vs the much higher 5 day rate
I only offer 4 or 5 day weekly flat rates due 52 weeks a year
All families opted for 5 days
Um, ok. I’ll take the extra extra day for the lots of extra pay. (Shrugs)

The best part is that he is not sure what to do with the attention as he is not kid-friendly. When she tries to hug him, with his permission, he stiffens up and does not move one bit until she lets go.

This reminds me of dogs and cats that tend to gravitate toward people who are afraid of or
don't like animals. lol

DCG almost 3 arrives after the bus time so she doesn't see SA kid until after nap, then he goes home within the next hour. However, he is how she talks to her mom about. DCM asked me about him and she laughed because dcg said he was 3. DCG adores SA B and on the 1st day of summer break, she says SAB is here forever. I almost fell over with a lack of excitement, screaming, " Oh no, he is not". LOL.

Today, she did not want to get out of the car and when she came in DCm tells me that she reminded DCG that if she didn't go inside, she couldn't see her friends. She got excited when she realized that SAB was inside and she said "I love SAB" and got out of the car.

She has unofficially invited SAB to her b-day party but none of the other kids. She will ask if she can play with SAB and then go over to him and tickle him. She will follow him around and just sit next to him.

dcg2.5 just pooped her pants while wearing a dress with dinosaurs on it and I said 'let me check your dress to see if anything is on it'...dcg said 'it's ok, it's just dinosaurs. She's been potty-trained since age two so I really hope she isn't getting sick.

SA forgot his binder at home. DCM found it and texted me to let me know she was dropping it off. I didn't say anything to SA until after his mom left. And I told him to go grab his binder off the porch.

Even proceeds to tell my daughter that I saw his binder on the porch and it must have fell out of his backpack but his backpack was not unzipped.

I laughed and before I could explain he's then accuses me of tricking him by taking the binder out of his backpack and putting it on the porch. Lol

Some of the thoughts I have through the day about these kids make me laugh; glad no one can read my mind.... I'm sure my eyes say a different story!

My uncle bought the land and a home across the road so he listed his current land and home thinking no one would want it but my nephew decided he wanted that land/home....but bids had already come in but my uncle took my nephew's bid once it went too high and let him have it for asking price when he realized what the UTAH guy was doing.

[Alwaysgreener]

Annalee if it was family land why was it open for the public to bid? I guess I just don't understand how that's working, I've never bid on or sold the house. I built a house, on family land and it wasn't up for public sale, just private.

My brother-in-law used my phone number when he purchased a vehicle from all the dealer that is known for their high interest rates and repossessions. After it was repo they tried to still get their money and they started calling me asking for him. I explained that he did not live here it was not his phone etc.

Apparently he had put my number down as my husband's number and my husband down as his reference. We had no knowledge of this. They kept claiming that my husband would go to jail if we didn't cooperate.

I would give them his current phone number but was unable to answer any other questions. They were literally harassing me, I would hang up and they would call me right back. I would save the phone number as do not answer every time they called, problem is it was never the same number.

That went on for five years or so. The last time they called I asked how comes they're not harassing his wife. They had no idea he was married, which to be honest I don't think he was when the whole thing started. I told them I didn't have a phone number for her, but she worked at the home improvement store. Interestingly, shortly after that call, she had quit the home improvement store but then again she's always either putting a job or getting fired.

LOL Same here.....there is a mass exodus from the west, particularly California. My nephew had to outbid a UTAH land developer for a home yesterday. Where do these people even learn about our real estate, etc. Some of these outsiders come with astronomical amounts of money....CRAZY!!!!! You can buy cheaper than renting here, but you can't buy if you have to outbid all of the wealthy outsiders. ?? FYI....if it hadn't been family homes/land, my nephew would have lost, but my uncle stopped the UTAH guy when he realized what was going on.
