I've been given permission to swat a child on the butt (which doesn't seem all that weird, just not in the scope of what I would EVER do).

I think one of my interview kickers was the one who put me on the spot about CPR protocals for an infant. I totally flubbed the question...but was really offended by being put on the spot. That mom also nursed her son (yay!) during the interview...using the "pull down the shirt from the top and leave the whole boob hanging out" method. Um, okay...nursing is great, but you *can* do it discretely...

Oh, and "So, the children are in the kitchen with you while you make lunch, right?" Um...nope, I just got done telling you that while I make lunch they play in the playroom *right beside the kitchen*. I can see most of the room from most of the kitchen. They are *right there*. And yes I do gate them out of the kitchen while I cook...it's safer that way. And the law in my state is "visual OR auditory range" so I'm perfectly fine doing that.


Those are probably the craziest, though I may have blocked some doozies out of my memory.
