Wacky Wednesday #24

Yesterday morning, at 8am (while half of us were still asleep) I heard what sounded like a jackhammer right outside my house. I looked out the window, to see a city employee with his jackhammer-like device, drilling into the ground. So I went out to see what he was doing. He said that someone just realized there were no signs warning traffic that there is a school at the end of the street. I then pointed out to the noisy city employee that there is a huge fence between our street and the school, so that no school children even had access to our street. And he said that it didn't matter. "City regulations, Ma'am."

So... after our 10 years of living here, someone decides they need to have a GINORMOUS sign warning people to slow down while they pass the big fence that keeps the school children away. And that someone decided that sign should go right in front of my purple house.

And I hate the sign. And I'm thinking evil thoughts about cutting it down or blowing it up. But then I thought... all this negativity isn't healthy. Maybe I should look at this from a different angle...

Maybe the nice city people chose to put that sign in front of my house, to announce my homeschool. Yeah, that must be it. Man, those city people are so thoughtful.
