You Can't Teach...

Kevin has some new responsibilities at his work: managing a multi-million dollar composting facility. With this new job, he has had to work with the public more than before.

Know that Kevin is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He is usually the smartest & funniest guy in room. He is very giving and kind.

With that....

He has been So Frustrated with the public. No matter what instructions the office gives them or he gives them, there is a frustrating level of babysitting that has to occur.

He was telling his parents about this last night and OMG, he had me laughing so hard. Again.

Kevin: "It doesn't matter that there are SIGNS telling them where to go and what to do. We still have to stop them from dumping in the wrong places."

His Mom: "Well, honey, not everyone knows material like you do..."

Kevin: "They don't have to. They just have to follow directions. There are SIGNS."

M: "But if it were Me driving in there, I would be nervous."

K: "Mom, they're not nervous. That's the problem. They're retarded. You can't make excuses for them. They're just retarded."

Because she's a mom, she has to say: "Honey, not retarded. Say 'stupid' instead."

Kevin raises his voice (he's also known as The Yeller :-):
"MOM, You can TEACH stupid. You can't teach these people. THAT's retarded!"
