Was a camp counselor for many years during high school and college, sometimes at sleep-away camps and sometimes at day camps. My favorite was the woman who threw a shit-fit and tried to get me fired because one of the pet rabbits chewed on her daughter’s shirt.

I work at a library, and I was once approached by a child’s mother to write his essay for him. She offered to pay me, but I kindly declined and informed her that she isn’t doing him any favors by trying to get other people to do his homework. She scoffed at me, and left the library fuming.

As a counselor in a camp, I had a kid with a glass eye. The mom told me that if it pops out I should just put it in a glass of water and call her. I still, 30 years later, wonder if she was screwing with me.

I work in a kids store and we have a little play area that’s barricaded so kids can stay in there while parents shop. We have a tv in there and rotate movies. Finding Nemo is a staple in there. One time a mom asked me to fast forward through the beginning part where Nemo’s Mom dies.

No big deal, until one mom told us her son was learning how to aim and ASKED IF WE COULD HOLD HER SONS PENIS AS HE PEED.We told her that wasn’t going to happen.
