She was crying when she left. I guess the police called and said her 7-year-old daughter was a town over from where she was supposed to be, and no one knows where the sitter went.<br/>Co-Worker #1: Oh, that's awful. [long pause] So you think that means I can eat her salad?<br/><br/>Providence, Rhode Island<br/><br/>Overheard by: Kate<br/>via <a href="http://www.overheardintheoffice.com/">Overheard in the Office</a>, Aug 21, 2006
