Drowning In Bad Parenting

(Our water park offers swim lessons during the summer.)

Customer: “I’d like to sign my daughter up for swim lessons.”

Me: “Sure thing! How old is your daughter?”

Customer: “She’s four.”

Me: *looking in our computer system* “I’m sorry, ma’am, but it seems like our lessons for that age group are full.”

Customer: “What? Well, when are the next ones?”

Me: “Unfortunately, there aren’t any more lessons scheduled for this summer. Sorry about that. I can put you on a waitlist, in case someone cancels.”

Customer: “So, you mean you won’t sign her up?!”

Me: “I’d be happy to put you on the waitlist, but our lessons are full.”

Customer: “So, you’re just gonna let my baby drown? What a b****!”
