But, I’m the one who yelled at the principle when she told me I had to either pick up my son from school earlier or they were going to call CPS. So I’m 15 minutes late every day. So what? There’s still kids sitting outside waiting for their parents to pick them up. Not my fault I don’t get off work until the same time he gets out and it takes me 15-20 minutes to get there. Don’t think I didn’t belittle her and make her feel horrible. And he’s only in kindgergarten. 🙂

I’ve never heard the term “Modern Day Quaker”. To the best of my knowledge, things haven’t changed all that much in the religion. My step-grandparents still say “thee”, “thy” and “thou” in normal every day speech! I’ve even caught my step-mother doing it, too. It’s creepy, until you get used to it. Then it’s still creepy, but at least you know what to expect. 😀

You know, I did ask for an explanation and what I heard was, “We typically adhere to the ‘fingertip’ rule. No skirts above the fingers.” Well, this kid’s skirt fell nowhere near her fingertips. She’s got short legs like her mother and even a mini-skirt would look knee-length on her. Ridiculous.
Cookie eaten. =)

Understandably so. There are certainly a lot of ridiculous issues being focused on in schools when there are so many more important issues deserving attention. Drives me nuts. Obviously. =)

Yeah, I’m kind of the ‘heavy’ in the family with the most butt-kicking potential. I did compose myself in this situation but that will not necessarily always be the case. I’m sure you’re shocked about this fact. =)

Thanks for the clarification…is your family more of a Modern Day Quaker or am I completely offbase? Which is an absolute possibility. =)

My niece sounds a lot like your youngest. That girl is a certifiable throw-back to the days of the ‘hippie’. We love it! I’m fully acknowledging that one of these days Avery is going to start having an opinion at which time I’m completely screwed. =)
