Honesty
“The crayons go in this box. When you’re done with a crayon, you put it in this box. Understand?”
“Jeremy’s name starts with a J. And Josie!”
“You don’t listen to a thing I say, do you?”
“No.”

A childcare provider is expected to be a superhuman mix of the Madonna and Mary Poppins, ever patient, loving, kind, always delighting in the sweetness of her charges. I don’t do such a bad job, all in all, and it’s far more likely the parents than the children who strain my sanity most days. But I’m here to tell you: It’s Not ALL Mary Poppins…

Good god, I cannot TELL you how many times (a DAY!) I have that SAME conversation with Henry! I once thought about buying him a t-shirt that said ‘Half listening, as usual.’ But I didn’t.
Stop spying on me, Mary P!
I want that t-shirt! I’ll take four or five, size 2, and give them as appropriate!
Wow! I didn’t know you’d been talking to my kids!
A new line of merchandise for Mary perhaps? Her own line of t-shirts:
“You make ’em; Mary breaks ’em”
or
“Lost the owners manual? Call Mary!”
t’shirts:
Raise Your Kids the Mary Way!
Mary P: Helps you Work Rest and – roll on the floor laughing your ass off!
🙂
[for those who don’t know, the second is a rip-off of the Mars Slogan ‘work rest and play’!
cq
Lory: Universal, isn’t it? Your kids, Susan’s, mine when they were little …
Simon: I’m laughing out loud at that first one. “You make’em; I break’em”. You’d have to understand the context (and the attitude) , but I love it!
The second one is more politically correct and true (who hasn’t wished for an owner’s manual?) and less likely to be misinterpreted – but it was the first one that made me laugh!
CQ: Still more slogans! I really should start marketing them. Start with my clients, and, if they’re funky enough, build my sales from there! “The Mary Way”, heeheehee…
I see a profitable sideline in ‘Mary P t’shirts’ 🙂
cq
There’s a perfect T-shirt slogan already on this website:
“It’s Not All Mary Poppins”
🙂
CQ: Someone needs to explain the Cafe Press thing to me, I think. (Crayonz? You out there?)
Misfit: Well, of course! Sometimes you just don’t see what’s right under your nose. With an umbrella logo, of course. Or an umbrella with the red circle and slash through it??
Mary, remember to check with a lawyer before printing and selling a t-shirt with what is most likely a registered trademark. At least, I assume that someone has trademarked “Mary Poppins”.
Disney has, no doubt, and you’d have to be deranged to take on Disney. Sweetness and light they ain’t, in protection of “their” trademarks.
