Oy vey!

"Hi. So i was wondering whats up with your post, I wasn't sure if you still had this.. Please let me know! Thanks in advance."

That is an actual response I received in reference to an ad I posted for a summer babysitter. I'm not sure why I'm surprised, really. This generation of young adults has frightened me for some time now. My reply to this young woman:

Dear Anonymous (because you didn't provide your name),

"What's up" with my post is I need summer child care. Had you taken two seconds to read my ad, you would have a clear understanding of "what's up". As far as being sure I "still had this", rest assured I still have my children. They're not borrowed, on lease, or returnable.

Furthermore, your grammar and punctuation is atrocious.

Sincerely,
Thanks, but no thanks

I'm neurotic today because...
...I can't find a teenager more responsible than my 9 year old son.
