I'm choosing to post this in the Funny thread.

Parent comes to pick up their child.

Parent: "Oh wow, you're on vacation all next week?" as they point to the sign on my door that's been there for 2 weeks.

Me: "Yup!" as I smile cheerfully.

Parent: "Gosh, what am I going to do? I wasn't prepared for this."

Me: "I gave everyone a 6 month notice for this vacation. I also send out reminders in the past 6 newsletters. You should have also gotten a reminder by text, by email and on Facebook on Monday of this week."

Parent: "Oh wow, okay. I'll have to see if I got those reminders. It's unpaid, right?"

Me: -pointed look - "It's paid. See you in a couple weeks!"

Why would I give a 6-month notice just to have an UNPAID vacation?

This is coming from one of my most responsible parents. I was SO confused! But I laughed, because I didn't believe they never saw any of my reminders.
