My job is to inspect daycares to make sure they are in compliance with the state regulations. I help keep kids safe and healthy at home daycares and daycare centers. Today, I had a very interesting inspection...
This morning I went to a home daycare. I found the home I was to inspect and knocked at the door. The woman comes to the door and cracks it so all I could see was an eyeball peering out at me. In the background I hear very ferocious sounding dogs awaiting to attack. I tell the daycare provider who I was and that I was there do inspect her home daycare. She opened the door and welcomed me in. Out ran two of the tiniest dogs I've ever seen dressed in little dog clothes. This scene starts to paint the picture of what was to come. The daycare home was very well set up, but there were no children there. The provider said that she hasn't had children since she got her permit a year ago. I told her that was okay and I could still do most of the inspection. So I begin to try and talk to her about her procedures. I ask her a question and she begins to talk about something totally random. This was getting frustrating as I was trying to keep her on track. During my inspections, I do like to chat with my providers so I can build a rapport with them. The question came up if I had children. I told her that I didn't and left it at that. Here is where it gets weird.. She then looked at me and said: "Oh but you'll have two boys." What??? Crazy woman, what are you talking about?? I said "oh, is that right?" She said yes, you have two boys. I then asked her what she meant by that and she repeated herself. I then asked her, "so are you feeling that you sense I am going to have two boys?" and her reply, "No, I don't feel that, I SEE them, you have one at each hip. I am very psychic and am never wrong." By this point I had to keep my composure and be professional when all I really wanted to do was call her Crazy and run out of that home. So, I just had to play it off and laugh. She then proceeded to tell me that I will have these two boys in July. I told her that I would just have to keep that in mind.
As weirded out as I was, I decided to have a little fun with her. One of my co-workers had a C-section today and she had not previosly found out the sex of the baby. I hadn't heard yet if it was a boy or girl, so I decided to ask the "psychic." So, I told her. "so tell me this, my co-worker had a baby this morning..." before I got to finish, she exclaimed "Oh! Did she have a girl?!?" I told her that I didn't know yet, but that didn't matter to the lady because she insisted that my co-worker in fact did have a girl this morning. I told her I would just have to get back with her about it. Well, I finally finished up the inspection and went out to my car to print the report. My curiosity was killing me, so I called my Admin Tech to see if they heard from my co-worker yet. Sure enough, she had a girl! Hmmm... either this lady is a total nut case, or she is psyhcic. I went back in and told her that she was right about the girl. She didn't act surprised and reminded me that I have a baby boy in each hip and that she wanted me to name one after her husband. Can you say C-R-A-Z-Y??
I still have one lingering question about her psychic abilities: If she is so psychic, why did she ask me about my boyfriend when I obviously was wearing a wedding ring?? When I corrected her and told her I was married she shrilled with delight and clapped her hands in excitement. I guess it made her happier knowing my husband would help father these children rather than a dead beat boyfriend??
So, here is the prediction for us to wait for- I will have two boys in July.
Listen up parents, you get a lot for you money at this psychic daycare!
