I was leaving NikkiZ’s day care and I was going to go to my car via the flower beds at the front of the building. There are little paths in the beds by either door, and I use them often. When I went to the path, I noticed there was a little sign there. I jumped over the sign and kept going. Then, I stopped and thought, “Hmm…I wonder what that sign I just jumped over says?”
Something along the lines of “Quit walking through our flower beds you idiot. These bushes are sharp and these paths were not intentional.” Except it was much nicer.
I’m hoping they didn’t see me do that. They would either think (a) she’s a dumbass and didn’t even read the sign she jumped over or (b) she’s totally being antagonistic and using the path even though we’re trying to keep her off of it. Neither one of those are impressions I want to leave with the people caring for my daughter.
Although, I have a feeling after my past issues at the place, they’ll be much quicker to assume “moron” than “nonconformist.”
Maybe the daycare can have a little stepping stone project and lay them in the paths that seem to be already created . . .
Well, maybe they should take out the paths, because seriously, if they are there, people are going to use them!
I think it would be pretty funny if the sign on Monday said ZOOT we saw you jump over the sign, we just put it there to see if you would read it. Ok, I am having an evil Friday can you tell?
By the way, you rock as far as inspiration. I didn’t get to post on your post of what you are good at… I know you weren’t soliciting compliments, but you really cut yourself short. You are the best motivator. I have lost count them 1.2.3.4. pounds because of your 5k experience!
When I read “Hmm…I wonder what that sign I just jumped over says?” I thought you were going to eventaully post what that sign said.
Elizabeth’s old daycare was like that. No one ever paid any attention to the signs.
You are not a moron…No…your not…….Zoot! I said No! Now quit arguing with me… I win!
Those little “stay off the lawn” signs are all over in one section of our neighborhood. It’s a downtown, quaint like section of town. They even have cobblestone sidewalks and everything. it’s really pretty. But anyways… back to the point…No one ever seems to listen to them here either.
