You call one lousy PTA vice-president a sack of, um, poop... and you don't even get invited to the end-of-year $10 burger flip. <br />And what's with all the parent-anger-management fliers coming home in my kids' backpacks? <br />I might need a little "Tuesday tonic" myself... <br /><br />Adore your blog, and your Parentwise humor this month.

And what’s with all the parent-anger-management fliers coming home in my kids’ backpacks?
I might need a little “Tuesday tonic” myself…

Adore your blog, and your Parentwise humor this month. I would love to party with you!

Our current PTA Princess is "keeping tabs on me b/c I am a rabble-rouser" aka I don't buy her BS. I suppose it's because I questioned why I need to pay $10 for PTA to "thank me" after I worked 900 hours this year for free. Reality check: Our PTA thanks you by charging $10 per person to enter the year end Thank You party. Where the highlight (according to the flyer) is you get dinner. Dinner is a cold hamburger cooked by some dad who probably just picked his underwear out of his buttcrack and a warm soda. Oh and lets not forget the games for kids really bad wanna be funzone with made in china lead filled prizes. Sounds like fun doesn't it? Thanks for this.
