That's hysterical!!!!<BR/><BR/>I think that some people just don't respond well to niceness, like if you're polite they assume you're less important than they are. I would be HUGELY high-handed with her tomorrow and see what happens! <BR/><BR/>Also, my theory on aging is like yours on money; we don't get older - our kids suck the life force out of us.Astartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337583910910454897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806221757599098019.post-15094784061446049762008-08-13T18:47:00.000-05:002008-08-13T18:47:00.000-05:00Oh no no no.

These dreary obstructionists who have no control or power in their own lives and so wield their little wands of power at work over others need expert calm and quiet management. <BR/>Put on your quiet eyes. Look at her like she is maybe a low IQ mental patient. Be gentle and kindly. Use helpful phrases like "oh, that doesn't work for us. How else might we be able to figure this out?"<BR/>Same the same exact things over and over in an ever increasing patient tone. She will cave. I promise you. And you will feel smug and happy and Keri will be in school....Good luck..<BR/>Oh and when you leave, lean in and whisper in a helpful and kindly whisper that she has something in her teethEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236233879828469590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806221757599098019.post-39135775618157256782008-08-13T13:40:00.000-05:002008-08-13T13:40:00.000-05:00Farrell-No believe it or not!

This year they decided that they will no longer accept credit card or bank statements as proof of residence.
