Transcript

Until daycare starts giving out refunds for missed days, she's going!! Of course I still sent my kid to daycare today. You know why? Because I paid for it already. It doesn't matter if I'm off work. I still have stuff I need to do and I still need for her to go play with her little two-year-old friends that I already paid for her to go play with, right? So if you guys have boomer parents like I do who said, I can't believe you're sending her to daycare today? Yeah, absolutely, I did.
