you were watching someones kids, and then the Mom called the next day to set up another day for you to watch them, and she asked that you are 'more covered up' next time?

WTF?

So you're over the telephone pole thing?

How did you respond?

I'd have looked at her quizzically and said, "Whatever do you mean?"

so show up in a baggy sweater the next day, but get out all your make-up and paint yourself up like truck stop titty bar trash. bleaching out your hair and then perming it might be a good touch, too. see how she likes THAT.

Anx said:

you're not helping.

It depends on what I was wearing cuz if the child went home and told their mom they saw my boobies then I wouldnt be offended
If I had on something where my stomach was showing then hells yeah I would be

I hate when that happens!

What's the big deal? We've all got a penis!

i wasn't finished.

show up painted up like a floozie, but carry around a copy of miss manners and cite all your friend's breaches of etiquette before she leaves, then while you're babysitting, hold a "manners class" and make her children into really prissy, fussy kids who will endlessly criticize and rile their mother when she returns home. that would be really cute.

My husband didn't even freak out in the least. He said I made it sound worse than it was over the phone, than it actually was.

The advantage of lowered expectations!

Heiress said:

No, it was weird.

Well, I watched them at my house, and when the mom dropped them off it was fine. Then when they came to pick them up it was fine.

The only thing I got a little freaked about was when her husband pointed out that I had the little girls shoes on the wrong feet. But he laughed and said he does that all the time too.

So all was good and then she called this morning, and asked if I could just be a little more covered up and giggled.

I had on sweats and a t-shirt. I'm not even downplaying it. I had on a shirt and sweats.

SureThing said:

Perhaps she was concerned for your health? Colds going around?

2the9s said:

I think he was just glad I called and told him.

The one time when I backed into someone with our new Liberty, I didn;'t tell him till 2 days later, and that fired him up a bit.

SureThing said:

is this lady amish?

SureThing said:

"Someone"?

Were you doing donuts in the mall parking lot?

Anx said:

Is the lady jealous?

Anx said:

No way man.

The Amish around here are snobs. They would never ask me to watch their kids.

They do live in an old farmhouse though.

SHANNA said:

Is the lady fat?

ok ok

SureThing said:

2the9s said:

No, I was leaving work, and me and this one lady were backing out at the same time and I hit her.

She drove this teenie little car though. I mean that's not my F'in fault. How the hell are ya supposed to see these people.

I don't think thats the reason though.

SureThing said:

amish people have to be snobs around you or else their god will cast them into a lake of fire and whatnot. it's harsh.

i really want an amish man's hat, though. i think amish men dress sharp.

SureThing said:

i think she thought you should wear a scarf so you don't get sore throat. i'm sure that's it.

No. But like one of my old friends once said to me, "you're a really nice guy but I wouldn't personally let my kids anywhere near you".

SureThing said:

Yes it is. Like SHANNA pointed out..she may be jealous

Heiress said:

I dunno. It's so weird. Ya really can't get more dressed down than a shirt and sweats.

SureThing said:

did the t-shirt have an image of your naked torso silkscreened on it? that could have been part of the problem.
