I so adore watching Flipping Out on Bravo. That darn Jeff Lewis cracks me the heck up. He's got her OCD tendencies that seem to have lessened as the show has progressed. I love how Jeff interacts with Jenni and with Zoila. Watching this show is one thing but actually seeing someone flip out in person can be all-together quite disturbing.
This morning as I dropped the kids off at school, I noticed someone's Mom (SM) talking to one of the new teachers (NT) that I don't know. The reason I noticed them as I walked up was that they were on opposite sides of the sidewalk. They were basically blocking the way for anyone going up/down the sidewalk. So, of course, I noticed them.
But as I got closer to them, I noticed that the Mom was getting louder and louder.
SM: This is unacceptable.
NT: [replied softly]
SM: Even though my daughter didn't turn in the homework on time, I found out the make-up work and it's in this folder.
NT: [replied softly]
SM: No. No! I thought we were going to have an evaluation.
NT: [replied softly]
SM: My daughter is NOT getting an F! She is NOT!
I finished walking the kids to the drop-off point and gave them their customary bearhugs. As I walked out the front gate, I waved to the administrator and he waved back.
NT: Good morning, this is SM.
SM: Mr. Administrator, I thought we were going to have an evaluation on my daughter.
Administrator: [replied softly]
SM: My daughter is NOT going to get an F!
People? She was so loud! She was going loco on the administrator as I walked away. Oh man! How embarrassing for her child. So this example is when flipping out is not funny.
