I believe that God likes to delete the doors in my house to watch me pee my pants.

If she were truly a good Catholic she would be staying home with her children and raising them herself ..../sarcasm.


Hopefully helpful suggestion, should you ever find yourself in such a conversation with another parent, just tell them that per the rules of the daycare that staff members are not allowed to discuss religion with clients.

I'm no religion either but I've never heard of ash wednesday ever. But she was an idiot. Shouldn't matter what you believe, its not like you were pushing it onto her kids or anything. That shouldn't have affected your job at all. If the mom can't deal, she can go somewhere else.

I had one person ask me what I was giving up for Lent.

Bella usually says that she's giving up giving up things for Lent.

K: Miss Bugged... I sing for you so you feel better, like mommy. *She starts singing Eye of the Tiger, shes 2. Very cute. I feel better*

Awesome kid is awesome.

Wow. What a load of Suck. And the woman cant even get her definitions right. From the sounds of it you’re a agnostic, not an atheist. Bit of a difference there but I doubt she‘d notice.

The little 2 year olds one very spiffy little kid.

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, 46 days before Easter. A church service is held, and members given the sign of the cross with ashes from the Palms burned during the previous year's Palm Sunday. Most people think Catholic, but some Protestant denominations follow it as well.

Momzilla was totally out of line. Behaviors like that give the faith a bad name. As someone else noted, if it were really that important to her she should have asked about the religious foundations of caregivers before leaving her kids there. However, it shouldn't matter unless the daycare is part of and operated by the Catholic Church.

S: We'll just move you to another classroom for a while.

Unless your replacement is Catholic, what was the point in that?

[Lots42]

S: We'll just move you to another classroom for a while.

So, I work in infants or pre-k now.

It makes no sense why they moved you. They should have banned Momzilla for being a giant freak.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

I would bet money that the woman's initial motivation was to draw attention to the fact she herself had ashes on her forehead.

Nice.

And by nice I mean embarassing and wrong.

Churches have these services all day and into the evening. So even hard core Catholics (or Episcopaleans or whatever) might go all day without them, get them at eight in the evening after suppper, and then go straight home. Which is what I usually do, when I am not feeling too lazy to move.

It would be funny if karma bit this bitch in the ass and her daughter grew up to be an athiest.

[Megg]

Athiest, satanist, one or t'other, anyway!

[QASlave]

The I'm-better-than-you-tarians. The sucky customers of religion.

They come in all races, creeds, colors and religious beliefs, and every single one of them has completely missed the point of their own faith.

I'm going to have this made into a bumper sticker.

[Sheldonrs]

I probably would have broken out in a rousing rendition of:


The Vatican Rag.

First you get down on your knees,
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect,
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!

Do whatever steps you want, if
You have cleared them with the Pontiff.
Everybody say his own
Kyrie eleison,
Doin' the Vatican Rag.

Get in line in that processional,
Step into that small confessional,
There, the guy who's got religion'll
Tell you if your sin's original.
If it is, try playin' it safer,
Drink the wine and chew the wafer,
Two, four, six, eight,
Time to transubstantiate!

So get down upon your knees,
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect,
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!

Make a cross on your abdomen,
When in Rome do like a Roman,
Ave Maria,
Gee it's good to see ya,
Gettin' ecstatic an'
Sorta dramatic an'
Doin' the Vatican Rag!

[Magpie]
