#fun fact the plasma screen story is a real story my mom experienced when she worked at a daycare

"And god bless you because I'm sure there are times you wish you could not gentle parent the parents. I had a friend once who worked at a daycare and once she had a parent come in on a Monday and explain that she and her husband had put a flat screen plasma tv in their bathroom because their 3 year old refused to take a bath and miss a second of his shows. Nevermind that there's all this technology to record and replay and stream shit...they were like sure thing your royal highness." Hadley laughed as Lavender leaned in with that face that said 'I love you but you're talking nonsense'. "I meant more that my brain feels like it's functioning the way it would at 2pm." She let her gaze sweep the diner, wondered if the staff were annoyed that they were there or grateful perhaps to have patrons since they'd be stuck there regardless. "The only downside is that your only food options this time of night are diners or like a few fast food joints and sometimes...sometimes a girl really fucking wants some korean street food at 2am, you know? I think that's the one thing I miss about living in Philly."

"They don't tell you that not only do you gentle parent the children when you work with them, but you need to gentle parent their parents," Lavender lamented with a long sigh. She took a swig of her juice with her left hand and pushed her eggs into a neat little mound to eat. Without even thinking her eyes rolled back in her head. There was no way Hadley was being serious. The diner was as dead as ever not because of quality, but because the only people in where were not here by any other means than sheer willpower to stay up or had the oddest of hours. "2pm?" she asked, leaning forward towards her friend. Lavender shook her head. "The asscrack of dawn is about to break. It does not feel like 2pm, girl."
