Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

it's almost like you're suggesting the servants are people!!!?
I might have even suggested to these people that the nanny might have bills to pay. I may have reminded them that our county requires a written contract with the nanny, and that this is just the sort of thing it should cover.
What kills me is that each one has prefaced the thought that maybe they shouldn't have to pay her with the assertion that their nanny is fabulous and that they'd hate to do anything ruin the relationship.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Snoverkill continues here. I get the feeling I won't have work at all this week. I just hope our flight to Boston on Friday doesn't get cancelled.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I musn't engage in the stupid, right??? I just saw this exchange between two of my FB friends:
Hey, had to share this laugh with you... so your son and my daughter were "in charge" of NAAPID day at school, and your son said, "My mom says why can't we have WAPID day?". I have said the same thing SO many times! I laughed when my daughter said she told him, "My mom says that too". I can just hear that conversation now. They were walking down the hall talking about us. Who knows who overheard them. ha ha ha!
Sometimes, I hate the people I know. Specially when one of them is a sort-of cousin and the other is a really sweet woman that I like. Sigh. I so desperately want to pick a fight about this.

Here is my cunning plan:
1: Build an igloo. 2: Put a space heater in it. 3: Nap!

NAAPID = National African American Parent Involvement Day. It's held in February of each year since 1997 (?) to encourage African American parents to get involved in their children's schools for one day. ALL parents are invited to participate and there's usually programming and such one evening for the parents that work but still want to be involved.
WAPID would be White American Parent Involvement Day.
