Oh, I have 1. When discussing my menu and telling them that if I have left over stew that I made the night before for my family that I will serve it to the children as well. The dad asked me if I dump the uneaten portions from our plate/bowls back into the pot to serve to the kids Ya...I do that All the time...NOT...gross!

I've also had a parent ask me what insurance company I was with when she asked if I was insured.

I've also had a parent ask me what insurance company I was with when she asked if I was insured.

The insurance question: The first time I was asked that question I was rather dumbfounded in the sense that I didn't get the rationale behind the question. Come to find out it is on a whole bunch of lists out there of questions parents should ask of prospective providers - again why?

My response is now a very simple "Why are you planning to sue me?"

I then just change the subject. Any parent that does come back to the question interestingly enough tends to be the overprotective, nervous, demanding type of parent where I am feeling kind of nervous myself that they just might sue or at least create havoc if things didn't go their way - time to say bye. Dont' deal with parents with hang ups.
