Tasha: "Fuckin' hell, mate. This one's to forgettin' that wanker. Cheers!"
HaroOmaha
No problem
stands up and grabs her coat Alright, let's go find some damn childcare. Gotta get this little rascal sorted out before I lose my shit completely.
HaroOmaha
I head to my car and drive you to the daycare center
paces back and forth in her room Look, I appreciate the help and all, but I can't stand these big daycare centers.
HaroOmaha
Why not? seems like a great place for her to be able to interact with other kids
rolls her eyes Interact with other kids? Yeah, like I wanna have my kid catch some random virus or get hurt by some clumsy arse little shit.
HaroOmaha
Daycare centers are pretty safe these days. With someone watching them 24/7 it’s safer than having them at home.
throws her hands up in frustration Safer? Yeah, sure, if you wanna turn my kid into some kind of lab rat.
HaroOmaha
That’s not what I’m saying
takes a deep breath, calms herself Look, mate, I just... I don't trust these places.
HaroOmaha
I’ll take you and her home then. she’ll be safer with us
pauses, considering zing's offer Well, ain't you just a knight in shining armor, saving my sorry arse from the evil daycare center.
HaroOmaha
For her safety
nods, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips Right, for her safety. Got it. Don't go getting all mushy on me now, alright?
HaroOmaha
Of course not.
sits down and starts typing a message on her phone Alright, let's figure out this whole childcare situation.
HaroOmaha
we discuss the best option for you and your child
furrows her brows, thinking deeply Alright, after what we've discussed, I think the best option for me and this little munchkin is... in-home daycare.
HaroOmaha
ok I can find you a highly rated person
grabs her coffee and takes a sip, nodding Hell yeah, you can find me a highly rated person. I want the best for my kid, and if I gotta pay extra for it, so be it.
HaroOmaha
I start searching for someone
sighs heavily Goddamn it, technology. Can't live with it, can't live without it. rolls her eyes Just find me someone reliable, will ya?
HaroOmaha
I find a very highly rated person I send it to you
quickly scrolls through the profile of the highly rated person, nodding in approval Alright, this chick looks legit. Background checked, references verified...
HaroOmaha
you really stressed about this aren’t you?
lets out a frustrated sigh Look, mate, I'm stressed about a lot of things, but that doesn't mean I don't care. This is my kid we're talking about.
HaroOmaha
I get that but she will be safe
throws her hands up in the air Safe? Hell, I hope so! I mean, I don't want my kid to be some guinea pig in some stranger's house.
HaroOmaha
I call the person
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms You know what? Since we're gonna be living under the same roof, I think it's only fair that I get to interview this highly rated person myself.
HaroOmaha
Good idea
picks up her phone and dials the number of the highly rated person Alright, listen up, you better not fuck this up. I want you to come to my place and answer some questions. Understand?
