DCD: "What are your hours?"
Me: "7am-5pm, my kids have afterschool activities and I promptly close at 5." (this was in the e-mail of prior communications)
DCD: "ummmm, hmmm... I don't get off work until 5:30, so I maybe a smidge late"

DCM: "DCK really seems to like your dog" (DCK is 19 months)
Me: "Me, yes, he's a great laid back dog, but he really doesn't like it when the DCK's pull his tail like that"
DCM: "She just loves dogs"
Me: (locking dog in mud room for his own protection), How do you handle discipline for DCK, time outs, redirect? Oh, DCK is a perfect angel, she hasn't really needed discipline just yet" -- as EVERY bucket has been dumped in the daycare room while 'dad' was watching 'angel' while I spoke with Mom.
