Today one of my daycare moms comes to pick up her infant son. She is always here right at 3:30pm on the dot. Today she shows up an hour late. I don't mind, but its not like her. She comes to the door wearing her work clothes that she had on this morning with her name tag on from work.
She quickly says "Oh my gosh - I'm sooo sorry. I got hit with traffic and EVERY red light possible". I reply with "its okay. No problem". She's complaining about the traffic and trying to leave really fast which is unlike her, when suddenly I hear her older 4 yr old son in the car saying "Mom! Hurry up! You said we'd go back to the mall!" Say what??
Her face turns bright red... and she won't look me in the face. A big sign of lying. And she always picks up the older son after she picks up "Timmy"... I just said "ohhh got stuck at the mall huh?" and she says "oh well... ummm... I was at work today and they sent me home at 10am this morning because I was throwing up like crazy! I have some kind of virus I guess... probably a 24 hour virus so I went home to rest and have been throwing up all day". I was just like HUH? I said "so you were able to pick up "Sammy" and hang out with him for awhile?" She pretended to not hear me and quickly left.
Her whole story didn't make sense. Why would she still be wearing her work clothes with name tag at 4:30pm if she went home sick throwing up at 10am?? And then her son busting her out with the "Lets go back to the mall" yell... So I'm guessing she got off early and hung out with her other son... that is fine - but why lie about it? SO weird. And then she tries to put her tag back on and look like she was returning from work I guess... and I don't think she expected her other son to yell out like that and squash her story.
As she was leaving I said "I hope that 'Timmy' doesn't catch your stomach virus! If he has any symptoms, please keep him home tomorrow". She was probably thinking 'oh crap - now she's going to think he's sick and it was all my weird lie'
She was busted...too funny.

(thank goodness most parents keep them home for special time with their kids anyway).
