signs!

So I've noticed two signs lately that I thought deserve mention on here. The first (and I will try and add a picture later) was one I parked next to when I was in Fredericksburg last Friday with my friend Andrea. Now, I have long held that Fredericksburg, VA is THE cutest down in America, and I challenge you to visit and not agree with me. Andrea became a believer after our little afternoon at Sammy T's. Can't visit but want more proof? Here is what the sign said:

City of Fredericksburg Department of Public Education
(and underneath)
Word of the Month
(and this is the WOTM that was hanging underneath the sign): Kindness

!!!

I think the world needs more signs like this. What an odd, but touching little message, no?

The second sign was not so uplifting. I was at the library, and spotted it on the community bulletin board. I took a photo of it with my phone because I just thought "Someone else has GOT to see this".

It said: "Do your child need tutoring in reading and math?"

Really? AND the best part was that it had little tabs at the bottom with the tutor's name and number, and all but 1 was missing! I thought to myself that I've just discovered an incredible market - 10+ people want to hire this person to teach their children! WHY am I not getting in on the action?
