Santa Baby
(I am a supervisor in a daycare. It is Christmas Eve and a child’s mother has arrived to pick him up.)
Mother: “So, is it okay if I send in his presents with him tomorrow so he can open them here?”
Me: “Tomorrow? It’s Christmas Day tomorrow… We’ll be closed.”
Mother: “What? You’re closed tomorrow? But what am I supposed to do with my kid?”
Me: “Oh, do you have to work tomorrow? That’s unfortunate.”
Mother: “Work tomorrow? No, I booked it off a long time ago. Why are you closed tomorrow? You’re always open!”
Me: “Christmas Day is the only day we’re closed all year.”
Mother: “Well, I don’t want him under my feet on Christmas!”
Me: “Um…”
Mother: “You don’t want to babysit, do you?”
