After seeing that picture, I almost screamed at the computer! That is the rudest and most disrespectful thing I have seen in quite some time! I agree with a PP, good riddance to getting rid of that family. If they are capable of doing something so disrespectful, I would not give them another thought. As for them about to be your neighbors, I would make sure your friends/neighbors know exactly what they did.....obviously if it comes up in conversation.

Here's mine:LMAO!!! I'm so sorry to laugh but I think that it's halarious that this family acts so childish. I have to give her credit for creativity. I feel for you honey. Now, I'm a smart-ass so just for kicks I'd remove like two pennies and write en e-mail that went something like this:
Dear Family,
I am writing to you to confirm and thank you for your promt payment of the monies that were still owed to me. As I went through and counted it however I found that it was short .02. Please let me know when you will be back to pay the remaining balance owed.
Sincerely
Me
:
: Okay I dunno if I'd actually do it but I know I'd really really REALLY want to. Either that or tell her that there was an overpayment of .02 and mail them to her. If someone did something like this to me I'd see it as a challenge and I'm sorry to say that I am not above lowering myself to that level. I am not the type to be outdone or to let the other person have tha last laugh. (still chuckling at the thought of having a family drop a bag of 3,000 pennies on my porch).
Dear Bully Parent,
Thanks you SO much for the payment for DCB's final bill. I LOVE pennies. I have been collecting wheat pennies since I was nine years old! I haven't had time to go thru all of them yet but you are NOT going to believe this... I found a wonderful addition to my collection!!!!!! Whooo Hoooooo Did you realize you had a 1914-D? They are worth nearly $150!!! OMG
I'm so excited I could burst.
I'm tempted to sell it but you know me.. I'll probably hold onto it way longer than I should.
It was a difficult transition for both of us to make but thanks to you I have a wonderful gift to remind me of our time together. Thank you SO much. Good luck to you and your wonderful family.

I agree with Nannyde, writing the above would be more-than tempting to me! But I also agree with the other posters, go do something nice for your family & FORGET about this simple-minded & mean parent. And I truly wouldn't be worried about this family moving into your neighborhood. She is the one who should be worried. Hugs!Here's mine:

Wow! It is hard to believe after I saw this picture. What a jerk! I never thought it would do that to anyone like this. Don't worry about them.

I soooooo vote for this! this has gone past balance and is just spiteful! OR,.....
I would write one that says, dear parent, you enclosed too much, I am refunding your overpayment in the amount of $0.02.
ool give her a check for 2 cents!!!

Nannyde, I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE that idea! My jaw actually dropped, too, when I saw that picture, and I was thinking some pretty evil thoughts myself. But honestly, Vesta cracked me up with the "itchy bee" thing and then this with the wheat penny. You guys made me laugh so hard today, and I cannot even begin to tell you how much I needed that.
I would do the wheat penny thing if it was the last thing I did. Of course, I'm from the south, and every evil thing we say is always dripping with honey. . . and acid. This would be right up my alley, y'all.

This thread turned into such a great read. I made it the "Top Topic" on the from page of Daycare.com and I think I will leave it up a few more days. Just too funny some of the brilliant "solutions" presented.Comment

I have never had that many pennies at one time (except when I was a kid), so if I did something like this (which I wouldn't because I'm actually an adult), I would have to take $30 to the bank and ask them to exchange the bills for pennies. If she did that, I wonder how embarrassing it must have been and what the teller was thinking? And for what? To stick it to you? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense!
Love the "write her a check for $0.02 as an overpayment" idea.
And the "priceless, rare penny" idea was beyond genius!!!! ::
