Florida Memories pg.5
Learn a lesson about “Day Care”places for your very active young children from us. Little children will stay at the “Day Care place” if they are being well care for. But. if there is something wrong or they feel miss treated – they sometimes are not able to put into words what is happening to them , so that their parents will understand – so they can only do, what they feel they must safely do, to correct the situation.
We took “Little Lee” to this “Florida Day Care” and then headed to our “Drive-In Restaurant” on the Sunshine Boulevard. I did not always go the the restaurant , but evidently I was needed this day and so that’s why Lee was dropped off. Next, my husband’s brother Al, was coming over to our restaurant – he also had a restaurant in the Wilton Manor area – and now, it was very early afternoon.
As Al was driving his convertible , and he is fairly close to the “Drive-In” he can hardly believe that our son, his nephew “Little Lee” is walking the same way as he is driving. Al pulled over to the curb and helped Lee get in his car – Lee was all scratch up and bleeding – but somehow he knew the way to the “Drive- In.” When Al and little Lee walked in the back door – we couldn’t believe how terrible Little Lee was cut and scraped.
So my husband calls the “Day Care” and ask the owner , ” how’s my son, Lee doing?” She said, ” Lee is doing just fine – he’s playing in the back yard with the other children.” My husband replies in only the way a man will, ” then, what the ‘ h ” is he doing here?” She started explaining that they have a (6 foot) fence topped with spikes at the top to keep outsiders out. Needless to say that was the end of that place for us!
What I feel in my heart – Mothers – if at all possible stay “home” with your small children – their need for you is more important than anything else in this world!
