That's a new one. Poked eye. I had one dcm in the past that used to give me such flimsy excuses as to why she was often 10/15 min late. The best one and the one my dh and I still laugh about is how she lost her car at the shopping mall after work. Could not remember where she parked it. So afterwards it hit me...."why is she shopping at the mall so close to pick up and not just getting her daughter and then go shopping" it irked me. She was 25 min late. Next day she had a late fee notice in her child's folder for $25 dollars. Her shopping trip at the mall cost her more than she anticipated! She wasn't late after that!
