So kids say the cutest things was an awesome thread and I did have a good giggle reading them and then re-reading them to my husband last night. It almost makes me want more as moments like those are so precious :)
Well I'd love to hear some of the funny, odd, crazy and down right bizarre things parents have said to you. I'm not saying bad mouth them by any means or downplay a parents anxieties but I had such a good one last night, I couldn't possibly keep it to myself and didn't want to hijack the other thread....please folks share away.
So last night I had a parent call at about 7:30pm saying that her 13mth old had been sick. I mentioned that all my other daycare kids had been sick since the weekend. She said he had only been sick once and had no fever and was fine now. I just gave her a reminder of the sick policy and made it clear that he would not be accepted into daycare the following day(today). She said she gave her son a couple of bites of fajita and thinks it was most likely because he didn't like Mexican food....I had to fight the laughter as seriously woman, are you kidding me. Every other child has a stomach bug and some of the parents too. Mexican food, my arse!! lol Here comes the good part. After I squashed that ridiculous theory, she asked me if he had hit is head during the day and could be concussed!!! I almost fell off my chair. Jeez lady, neurotic much?!? I asked her if she honestly thought I wouldn't call her if her son had hit his head. It is my policy to call parents whenever there is a bump to the head even if it is minor. I really just wanted to tell her to pull herself together. She even told me that her husband had told her it wasn't concussion and to stop being so ridiculous. OMG some people are nuts. Every other person has a stomach bug, it couldn't be more obvious that your child has it too.
