Let’s Not Make Her A Real Angel
(A very small child of about four walks up to the slide at our pool.)
Me: “I am so sorry, sweetie, but you are a bit too small to go down the slide. Maybe next time!”
(The child leaves in hysterics, only to bring back her mother.)
Mother: “Why did you not let my angel go down the slide?”
Me: “She is under four feet tall.”
Mother: “Yes, I know. She’s an absolute angel.”
Me: “Our policy clearly states that we cannot let a child under four feet tall ride the slide. She could get seriously injured or possibly drown when she reaches the bottom.”
Mother: “Yes, I know, cute as a button!”
Me: “My manager can further explain this to you, but I can’t risk her safety.”
Mother: “But she is my angel!”
Me: “She’s also under four feet tall. She could die, ma’am.”
Mother: “Well, it’s not like she can help it! How dare you make my angel feel bad about her height!”
