An Open Letter

Dear Day Care Worker Who Was Escorting Children at the YMCA Pool,

I know that you have several kids that you are watching.  I know that you feel like (and quite possibly) are underpaid.  I know that it is a hassle waiting on a small handful of children of varying ages to shower/change to get ready.  I also see that you have a group that you are re-diapering and changing.  I see all of this.

But, if you ever threaten one of those children with a switch I will get your license number and report you. 

If you spank your own kids, that’s fine.  If you want to tell your own kids that you have a switch and you aren’t afraid to use it, that’s you’re deal.  You are NOT to spank kids that do not belong to you.  

I don’t care who you are.

Sincerely, 

Me- the obvious liberal who thinks that soft words are better than hard hands from teachers.
