I'm sure it'll be an off the record topic at the next PTA/PTO meeting....and I'm up for re-election, so it could even get political...hahaha

Bless him

I would have just fell on the floor laughing

Lance...if your PTA is anything like mine was, if we got a father to show up, we chained him down and kept him.



*sigh*

All three of them, one of them being my husband.

to make you really scared...I'm vice president of the PTA
the bakesale I oversaw broke school records....and no it wasn't the brownies that did it...hahaha

It's been a weird year though...I was co-director of the school christmas pageant and my son has become quite the guitar player, so i allowed him to play "Iron Man" on his guitar for the pageant. It raised quite a stir in the school sicnce I live in a mormon neighborhood ;-) I also don't take shit from most of the whiny parents, so they either love me or hate my guts

Yep. Spent a lot of years as a PTA vice president. (You have to be taking serious drugs to be president.) I knew it was going to be a bumpy ride when, the first year I did the Halloween Carnival, I cheerfully announced "they won't let me have the human sacrifice!" and they all gaped at me in horror. I carefully explained "that was a...joke?" Geesh.

I hated bake sales. What I hated even more was...hot dog sales. Our gas grill got piled into more pickup trucks and taken to places so my husband and I could stand there and sell hot dogs.

you should have seen the looks I got when I told them we need to stop having these monthly fund raisers selling shitty overpriced chocolates and stationary...especially when 75% of the sales were from the parents of the kids anyways..

The reason our bakesale did so well is the prices were lower than those shitty chocolate catalogs and we didn't have to settle for 25% of the funds raised...we got nearly 100% and made more money...a lot of these parents are business woners, hwo could they not figure this out? I guess they were used to the same old, same old...

Oh, hell yes. "But we've *always* done it this way!!" You should have seen the faces that first Halloween carnival I did. I got the records (what there were) from the last one and was just bored to tears with what they did. So, me being me, I talked to a mom who painted. They had a stick to toss rings at. I had a four foot Dracula with a stake through his heart to toss rings at. I turned all the games into Halloween themed events. It struck me as being so profoundly obvious...but it sure wowed everyone else.

Did you know that if you have a bowl of grapes in water that the kids have to reach into to grab a prize and call it "The Eyeball Game," you can actually make a full grown woman retch? The kids thought it was a howl. The parents were going to storm my castle with farm implements and torches.

hmmm, if only they would allow me anywhere near halloween themed events....
I remember the time I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention and wore a Slayer "God Hates Us All" t-shirt to school event...it certainly wasn't a very Christian-like attitude I was met with...
