Last evening in the middle of dinner, there was a knock at my door. It was a young man - who grew up down the street from me. I knew him just as a neighborhood kid, the oldest of 3 brothers, whose family moved out of the neighborhood about 6 years ago.
Well, now he has an 11mo daughter and needs to change care providers. He tells me that he remembered that I used to do daycare - wanted to know if I still did. He tells me that he remembered all of the kids coming/going from my house and all of the "happy noise" that he would hear coming from my house/yard. Apparently, he tells me that he even noticed that the only time that he heard kids crying is when their parents were taking them home! He tells me that he and his brothers used to ask their mom to "get a job" so that they could come and play at my house too<
>.
I was flabbergasted - totally speechless -which doesn't happen often for me! He wanted to know if I still did daycare and if I had a spot open and if I would be "willing to interview me and my wife" to see about the "possibility of accepting his daughter into my care". Wowsie!
They'll be back for an official interview tonite - which works well for me because I just terminated a family last weekend (my drunk at pickup time post family) and have a spot I need to fill:-))
I just can't believe a potential client came knocking at my door, because of his memories of growing up in my neighborhood. I suppose stranger things have happened - they just don't usually happen to me::
