We went to Reid’s daycare picnic on Friday night and, as always, I learned a few things while there. The first involved the kids in the yellow t-shirts in the picture below. Can you guess why they aren’t still all wearing them?

When I first got there, all of the children were wearing the yellow. As their parents arrived, the children had the yellow t-shirt removed. The daycare staff then were able to tell which children were still “in care” and which were, more or less, being looked after by their parents.

I thought that this was a clever idea and it could be also be used at a birthday party at a crowded location. When the kids arrive, you could give them a t-shirt and when their parents come to pick them up, you would take the t-shirt off and put it in the treat bag. Hmmm… I wonder if they will be necessary for Reid’s party next month?
