    Help me out! Retirement ideas

    Hello all,

    My mom is retiring from nearly 30 years as V.P. of child care for a large nationwide provider of child care and youth services. I want to present at her retirement, but would like to avoid it being boring. Specifically, I would like to be funny.

    My idea is that I'll do a "this DIDN'T happen" while my mom was in charge type theme, using funny stories and pictures for humor. As such, I need a large supply of pictures to pick from.

    These are some images and one .jif I've stolen from the Random Image thread that are along the lines of what I'm thinking. Just funny images involving children, childcare, kids play areas.

    Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.





    Any stories about bad (but not dangerous) childcare with documentation would be appreciated as well.

    Thanks again!

    Grats to your mom. I just did a google image search of "bad parenting" and got tons of hits, so you can probably search through and see what is or isn't appropriate.

    The flaming baby is borderline offensive, I'm not sure if you know all of your mom's coworkers but I don't think that's a great one to show. The other two are a lot less so. I know it's fake and I'm sure most will be able to figure out that it's fake but people get way too butthurt these days, and what's funny on the internet may not be as funny at such an event.

    I love the idea of humor, just wouldn't want to go too far over the line on that one. Pictures like the one with the kid who drew on his baby brother/sister with permanent marker would be funny, because it doesn't imply great bodily harm.

    Just my thoughts.

    She did not, at least, turn all the children into Hilter:



    (you probably shouldn't use this one, either)

    Or into mop children:



    Nor were they fed unicorn meat:



    It's a little disturbing to find these are the only 3 images I have which fit this theme. The rest are full of obscure geek jokes and offensive material.
