I tell you, this crap only happens to me...
A few weeks ago (well gee, maybe a month or two ago) I decided to support our local girl scout troop by purchasing cookies. On Sunday, the little girl - and quite the mouthy little girl, I might add - rings our doorbell. I answered it and she said "Cookie delivery! I've been trying to get a hold of you for weeks!!"
Anna: "Sorry, we've been on vacation and I've been working a lot."
Mouthy Neighbor Girl: "Oh, my dad thought you were out shopping again."
??? Dude, I shop just as much as the neighbors and lately, all the bags I've taken out of my car have been from the grocery store! Furthermore, who the hell sits in front of the window and watches what their neighbors buy? I have better things to do with my time!!
So, she gives me the cookies, I give her a check, she says the money is going to charity, yaddah yaddah... She even shook my hand to thank me for my business. To lay it on thick, I said "Please tell your Dad I'm sorry we weren't here but I do have a job and we were gone for spring break." (I'm one of the few working moms on my street, so I needed to set this kid straight - I don't have time to wait around for her delivery!)
Mouthy Neighbor Girl: "OK, I'll tell him. He was kinda frustrated with you."
I just laughed. If only her parents knew the words coming out of her mouth!

Oh my, I would hope that her parents would be completely mortified if they knew what their little girl said to you.
That complete lack of tact though - she had to learn that somewhere ;).
Yep, I agree with Heather...I have a feeling they are raising the daughter they always dreamed of! YIKES! My girls go to school with a few of those little angels!
