I am 100% certain it was for the 10 year old as he was disappointed at first when the lady was saying she didn't have any to sell...plus they upgrade or something to the Prestige (seemed like they bought one from gamestop but it wasn't part of the pre-order...) Plus he was like hugging it in the backseat of the car -_-; It just amazes me that people ignore ratings nowadays...go into a scary rated R film, like when I saw My Soul to Take there was a family there, the oldest kid had to be atleast 6th grade (which is still elementary school here). I am wondering if some parents do this so they can complain about stuff -_-; When they do complain I want to say lrn2parent... like when Medal of Honor came out like a month ago, there were parents complaining because they didn't want their 12 year olds killing American soldiers (the game is set in the Afgan/Iraqi war and in multiplayer you get assigned either American or Afghan/Iraqi soldier). When I heard this the first though in my mind was "Isn't that a Mature rated game? You know for 17 and older? Why is your 12 year old playing this game to begin with?" Yes I do know about the whole older siblings/dad part and the playing it at friends...but if you are going out and buying your kid this game to play and then complain about it? Also the older sibling/dad having it thing...can't you lock it up somewhere when they aren't playing it? Or only play it when they aren't around?
I don't really care what ####ty parents do with their semi-retarded children so long as I don't have to listen to them. If I have to listen to them, then I believe they're completely fair game for me to demonstrate why the ESRB doesn't rate online interactions.

So, we get a couple of special orders at the daycare, depending on what we're serving each particular day, right? We've got some people with allergies, religious restrictions on diet, etcetera. Normally, when we get these orders, we prep up their special tray and I put a sticky note on it with either a) The Person's Name, if I know it, or b) What is special about the tray.
Well, today I decided that was boring and decided to spice it up a little. Apparently, this was a bad idea.
One of the teachers in one of the Preschool Classes can't have pork. That's the only special order that class ever asks for. Normally, I just leave a sticky note with the teacher's name on it. Well, not that it isn't a perfectly good name, but I decided to go for gusto. Instead, the note read, "[Teacher's Name], LORD PROTECTOR OF ENGLAND!" Me, I thought it was perfectly clear that this, THE ONLY SPECIAL ORDER THE CLASS GETS, belonged to that particular teacher.
And apparently, I was very wrong.
Evidently, this sticky note attached to, again, THE ONLY SPECIAL ORDER THIS CLASS GETS, WITH A NAME WRITTEN ON IT, was so confusing that not only did the wrong teacher eat it, but they also sent a note down with the dishes asking precisely what I meant by dubbing the teacher Lord Protector of England. I'm kinda curious at what manner of gossip I hath wrought among the teachers in that class as a result of this.
If I thought ANY of the special orders for ANY of the classes was going to cause confusion, I thought it would've been the one I wrote in Spanish. But that Toddler class didn't seem to have any problem with that.

Aw, it looks like my laptops battery just #### the bed. Now I need to figure out how to replace it. Sad.
Erm, don't you just pull it out, buy a new one, and replace it? Should on the bottom of the laptop near where you can plug it in to charge it...should be a rectangular block type thing...unless you are a mac user then I don't know :-s
So the teacher that wasn't supposed to eat pork ate pork?
Nah, she ended up coming down to the kitchen and getting a second bowl of the entree for herself once she realized what happened.
Actually, when she was fetching the trays for her class, we even said, "Your tray without pork is on top of that stack, it's the one with the sticky note."

The most amazing thing about Grimlock is the fact that just because he talks weird, people forget that he could own almost every Transformer in combat.
Except up until Maximum Dinobots, he was such a one trick pony. Course so are most of the other characters in that universe.

Now they hadn't preordered so they were checking to see if anyone cancelled since they have to hold all the preordered ones for 72hours. Someone cancelled their 149.99 dollar copy (called Prestige, comes with an RC car) so she bought that for him. I am thinking 150 bucks for a violent Mature rated video game for a 10 year old is a bit much.

Let's just say you've got a lot to learn about parenting.
