When I get asked questions like that. I don't answer, I tell them that is personal and I won't be sharing it.

I have a really nice wine dispaly in my kitchen area. Its up high out of reach, but within vision of an adult.

I already knew that this mom and I were not a fit....she asked me " do you drink?" I told her only when the DCK drive me nuts.... she did not find it so funny.... Of course i was joking.... But realized that it was not really that funny, she could have called licensing on my bad joke...

Parent translator:

What time does such&such get picked up?
Will my child have an older child to play with until he leaves?
If so and so is there till five then I want my kid to be till five too. If I'm running late it's okay because my son will have "his best friend" to play with. They have so much fun in daycare being with their friends. It's way better than going to the boring grocery store with me.

What are your kids involved in that you have to close at 5:30?
I will be arriving after 5:30 definitely on days when your kids don't have activities and whenver I think the "activities" your child has is one they CAN be late at... like soccer practice, girl scouts, tutoring, church... you know stuff they don't really HAVE to be at.

What did you pay for this house?
With that low mortgage payment you don't really NEED to have 150 a week. You should easily be able to cover that if I don't get ya paid on time with the other kids money and your husbands money. We're good if I don't pay or pay on time?????

Does such&such pay what I pay?
If they pay more than I'm getting a GOOD deal.
If they pay less I want to pay less.

PERFECT!!!:: The only one that's probably not accurate is "What time does such&such get picked up?" The mom usually asked me that on nights when she was LATE and such&such was still here because he is contracted for 1 late night per week. I think the correct translation for her is "Oooooooooooh....such&such is here late....why can't I show up late if that kid is still here???" My answer to her has always been "Don't go by such&such's hours because they are under contract for something totally different." I'm not sure if what I said makes sense but she never asked me again...

"why do you ask?"

I have said that too. I love the look or dead silence that follows. Or they say just curious.
