My mum....

LMAO at my mum. She works at a school, and when I spoke to her yesterday I asked her how the new job was going. She said it was ok, and had been buying the new stock for next year, some of which arrived today. She was told to order 100 books for the kindergarten kids, but turns out she ordered 100 packs! Each of 100 books.
So a lorry turned up with £3000 of books - a 100 year supply. It filled an entire classroom and had to be loaded through the windows off pallets. It should have been a medium sized box.

Good thing its a kindergarten, she can blame it on the kids

**tiggerai** · 03-08-2005, 01:39 PM

OOOPS... do any other kindergartens need some?!

**5lab** · 03-08-2005, 01:40 PM

i still would tbh

**Jonny** · 03-08-2005, 01:43 PM

Maybe, but I doubt 99 other Kindergartens in the Midlands forgot to order their books for next year and need some last minute. I think she's hoping they do returns...
If not, they're well stocked until 2105 at least. Mind you I doubt we'll use paper then...

rofl, that's hilarious

**Wyoming** · 03-08-2005, 02:22 PM

That's disastrous in a comic way. Hope that get's sorted out, because as its a new job it could be quite treacherous for her if she's already made a rather large mistake.

I bet Kindergarten Books Ltd. are laughing. Profits up by a lot I would expect...

**shelley bda** · 03-08-2005, 02:27 PM

The books ain't cheap either! we have paid upto £100 before now for sets of educational resources at our pre-school

Mike Fishcake · 03-08-2005, 02:44 PM

Do they really call it a kindergarten?

I thought they were all Nursery Schools in this country.

Grrr
