"WITH APOLOGIES TO NONE"

When I am asked what I do, I usually get the following reaction:

When I say, "I work at a Child care center I generally hear a
very flat "Oh".  I have never been certain whether it is an expression of pity, sympathy, disgust or perhaps disinterest.  Always I wish I
had the time to explain to them like this:

Yes, I work at a day care center, "With Apologies to None."  Where else would a handsome and very young man put his arms around me and ask, "Do you know that I love you?"

Where else could I see a fashion show daily and keep up on the latest trends for the very young"

Where else could my limited wardrobe be complimented or my earrings thought beautiful?

Where else could I walk into a crowd and have warm little hands reach to touch me?

Where else could I have the privilege of wiggling the loose teeth and receive the promise that I may pull them when they're loose enough?

Where else would I guide a chubby little hand that may someday write a book or an important document?

Where else would I forget my own aches and pains because of scratched knees, bumped heads and broken hearts that need care?

Where else could I forget taxes and even "The State of the Nation" because Bill isn't adjusting as he should and other methods must be tried?

Where else could my mind stay so young as with a group whose attention span is so short that I must always keep a "Bag of Tricks" up my sleeve?

Where else could I feel so close to my Maker as I do each year when because of something I have done, little children learn and grow?

Yes, I work at a Child Care Center Mr. and Mrs. America. . .
and. . . I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
