Sometimes a random good thing can happen.

A few days ago I said that we had taken Jake out of daycare. Sadly, we only gave the daycare about 8 days notice or so. The contract said we needed to give them 6 weeks notice.

I felt bad about it, but knew that they would keep our deposit. So we'd really be ripping them off only $500.

I told them and sent them a letter. They said no problem, and that was that.

Then a day later they phoned my cell and said, "We want to return your deposit as well."

I was like, "Wha???"

She said, "You guys have some special circumstances with Jake."

Here's the thing, these are new owners of the daycare. They've only been in charge for a month and they've only met Jake a few times. So they don't even really know us, nor were they around when we regisered Jake two years ago.

They're doing this out of the goodness of their hearts! Weird. But hey, I'll take it.

So there are still some good people out there in the world.

Cindy said that this may actually be a trick. Because they asked for our original contract that showed the deposit amount. She said that what they're really going to do is take that contract and use it as proof that we really didn't give them enough notice, and they're going to sue us and ask for the $500. Wow, that would be pure evil. I'm amazed Cindy would actually think of this.
