"for pete's sake preschool"
We here in southcoastal New England are getting dumped upon with 6 inches of snow.
No big deal but I was looking on the tube to see whether my kid was going to be let out of school early and I saw that "for pete's sake preschool" would be closing early.

Ahhhhh that's not my kid's school, but had I known it existed back when my kid was younger, I might have sent him there just because they are probably either fairly funny or insufferably strict. It has to be one or the other and I would have figured it out really quickly.

Cracked me up.

1. That's a great name
There is a nursery school here called "Brite Beginnings." The spelling gets on my nerves every time I pass it. :shrug:

3. yeah I know what you mean
how many kids were driven to dyslexia from the iconic Toy's R Us logo with the reversed R boggles my mind.

Teach a kid to misspell and it lasts a lifetime ya know?

2. I hate the religious preschool names like "Little Lambs"
and crap like that. To me, it's like, okay, kid, your indoctrination begins here ... Check your brain at the door -- you're a little obedient sheep now, and you must swallow this dogma ...
