Oh, it will stand out all right. When Junior repeats preschool, the teacher can always look in her drawer full of mundane gifts she just can’t throw out and remember her stand out nurshery student.
This is what happens when rowdy nurshery school teachers make crafts after a few Cosmos. Mrs. Waters has the same logo “tramp stamped” you know where. Mr. Waters loves it, but he laughs to himself every time. He’ll never tell her what it really says back there.
1 flower
15 petals on the flower.
4 pieces of bee shit
1 bee
2 wings
2 small flowers
8 small petals
30 letters
2 periods
1 Misspelled word
5 ‘NURSHERY’ is the 5th word
8 ‘H’ is 8th letter and is unnecessary
Someone help me with the math on this one! There’s got to be a hidden meaning in here somewhere.
After grumbling to herself for a full minute, still unable to sort it all out, Helen decided to be sure that her customers would be responsible for any spelling errors.
Came here right after finishing work for the day as an editor. Didn’t see what was wrong until I hit “nurshery” and groaned aloud. Then went on to spot the grammatical error in the description. The only consolation was hearing it in Carol Channing’s voice in my head and picturing her as a nursery school teacher. Well, that, and all of your comments.
Something tells me that proofing my text before placing my order is not going to prevent spelling errors in the final product. If only the world of teacher’s gifts weren’t so mundane!
#16 : my mum’s a bleary-eyed, overworked teacher, but at least she can still spell ‘nursery’. Even after a few bottles too many while correcting papers…
One of my favorite teachers ever, who did in fact emphasize spelling was named Ms. McPhail.
At that time Miss.I still vividly remember her because she had white hair which she tinted a faint blush pink regularly , and on a couple of other occasions tinted it a pale blue,plus she invited the class to her home for dinner and a Disney movie.
Our parents called her a spinster.
Must be a drag when you finish hand-carving a rubber stamp, you’re proud of your 13 petals and your bee poop, then realize you’ve made a spelling error.
I was turning in detention slips at school (work) today and realized our secretary had labeled the folder “Detension slips”. I should order her a stamp with that on it.
I don’t see nothing wrong with that alternate other spelling of nursery. I have a shtrong suspition that the person who would of ordered that stamp could of gone to the libery to look it up, but they drunk too much expresso and couldn’t sit still long enough. Its unfortuneate that so few people know how to spell any more? And don’t get me started on pour puntuacion and grammer. If kids would of payed more attension in shcool, may be these Etsy posts, and coments, to be onest, would’nt be practicly un-readable. Anymore, I just only read the coments for my own amusment. I defiantly get more then a few chukkels when I read them? And Im welling to bet most of them arn’t just type o’s! Keep on comenting, I need the lauhgter in my life.

My concern is the bee shit on the flower.

Shouldn’t the title of this post be “Stamp Out Illitracy”?
November 4, 2010 at 1:53 pm
WTF?? Even my 4 yr old knows the correct spelling of nursery….I am surprised they got the word “school” correct…
November 4, 2010 at 1:54 pm
I don’t really like the blue. I’d prefer it in razzzberry.

The editor in me just burst from my body and ran from the room shrieking.

You know there’s a bleary-eyed, overworked teacher out there who got this stamp and used it for three weeks before she noticed anything was wrong.

Definately something in the water – a bourbon chaser perhaps

The disabled guy said: “What’s wrong with it?”
Don’t listen to him, he’s got brain damage.
November 4, 2010 at 2:19 pm
It’s probably only available with the “Mrs. Waters” text option. It’s SUPPOSED to stand out, amirite?

I teach at a nursery school. Perhaps nurshery schools are a progressive counterpart….
November 4, 2010 at 2:50 pm
A creative phonetic speller! I’m surprised her “gracias” stamp doesn’t say “grassy ass”
I would totally buy it if it did.
November 4, 2010 at 3:03 pm
So lucky so far so good-69 positive ratings-
November 4, 2010 at 3:05 pm
it’s nice to acknowledge the tireless work of our teachers and to give them tangible evidence that their efforts haven’t gone unnoticed.
…this however cruelly asserts the futility of their situation and reassures them that they are in fact damned.
most of the teachers i am friends with drink heavily
November 4, 2010 at 3:05 pm
Well, I think with the way our public edumacation is going this type of thing is pretty standard really.

Superintendant of Schools: “Mrs. Waters, Mrs. Johansson… may I see you in my office please?”
November 4, 2010 at 3:23 pm
Its shocking how so many people have no idea how to spell these days.
The problem is that the people going through college to become teachers can’t spell either.
November 4, 2010 at 4:23 pm
I bet Mr. Walters will be pissed when he gets that stamp.
November 4, 2010 at 5:10 pm
“Please proof your text before ordering”… because lord knows I’m too drunk to do it.
November 4, 2010 at 5:14 pm

November 4, 2010 at 7:17 pm
I’m torn between being disbelief and outrage that the seller couldn’t be bothered to proofread their listing properly.
And disappointed in myself for not having any alcohol in the house. Because this makes me want to drink.

I was turning in detention slips at school (work) today and realized our secretary had labeled the folder “Detension slips”. I should order her a stamp with that on it.
November 4, 2010 at 7:54 pm
Nurshery..nursery…nourseru…nourish…
Sweet Jesus! She’s planning on eating the kids!
November 4, 2010 at 10:58 pm
Amazingly, she even managed to exceed her own 33 characters limit.
November 5, 2010 at 1:18 am
So she gets the correct use of “capital” but can’t spell nursery? Hmmm…
November 5, 2010 at 4:56 am
Detension slips is sort of appropriate though, if the kids at your school sleep through detention like we used to.
November 5, 2010 at 9:17 am

50 no’s and one yesh is still a yesh!

they are trying to say they love the teacher as much as a bee likes to shit on a flower
hope this helps #12 BillsBayou :

The sad thing is… she also misspelled “mathematics”.

Apparently this seller also makes her own ink pads, or we’ve got a new item for the Not Remotely Handmade category…

I’ve had similar concerns about our local print shop which offered ‘Custom Stationary.’
As well as businesses which make “SIGN’S”
November 8, 2010 at 10:21 am
Yeah, job well done. My kid can’t spell his way out of a paper bag. Thanks for ruining his life
