my favorite part is when one of the proprietors validates the business by talking about seeing “growth” in his clients.
I mean we’re really doing a great thing here… it’s not about the money at all… I see definitive improvement almost on a monthly basis from the clientele. Some are learning colors, others are learning shapes… I mean, without the spaghetti-swim sessions, there’d be no development at all.
“Of course, there is an added benefit: Mom and dad get some time off as well.”
At least back in the good old days they called proxy parenting what it was: boarding school. Due respect given to those (and their parents) who went to boarding schools for real reasons in Africa, my favorite country.
Chad. We’ve talked about this. Funny poems of yore notwithstanding, Africa is not a country. Please stop confirming North American ignorance. It pisses off the Canadians and the Mexicans.

I think the closing line pretty much sums it up.
