And even more stoopid customers...

Ah, tis time again to mock the particularly thick and slow people who patronize our pet store. Wait a minute...it seems that I am now patronizing them!

A woman was telling me about her algae (or commonly called ALLERGY) eating fish. "It stopped eating and became EMANCIPATED." *eyeroll*

An all-time favourite question of mine; "How much is that ugly kitten?" teehee!

And the most recent; The other night just after we closed, a woman called to ask me, "How can I tell if my turtle is dead?" There were about 100 snarky replies that rose up, begging to be snarked, but I calmly asked her the usual, "is it moving? Are it's eye's open? Is it floating upside down?" etc. She then asked; "So, if somebody had stepped on it, would it's shell protect it?" *nuther eyeroll* Yeah, sure, if it's a Giant Galapagos Tortoise! Not if it's the size of a sliver dollar.

God save all the pets out there who belong to morons!

On a sweeter note, I was laying down with my three year old son Quincey last night, and we're both a bit sick with a cold and cough (although he keeps telling me, "No, I"m not cold! I'm warm in my blanket!" ;D So were a cuddling in his bed, coughing our brains out and he turns to me and says "Mama? You're my beeeeest friend!" Awww, what a sweetie!

Ack! I've just been covered in sweetness germs. Now I must go look for something filthy to return to normal. You can only imagine how put out I am by this. *g*

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Ha! I emailed you a 'little something' to help you return to normal! teehee!

[accioslash.livejournal.com]

Ah. I feel better already. ;D You know that fluffy bunnies and cuteness makes me want to throw up a little in my mouth. Thank God for squick.

See, I think one of the reasons we have kids is so the rest of our encounters with the morons in the world doesn't drive us to despair. You look at their faces when they're asleep, and then you have a moment like you did with Quincey, and you just know, despiite all the turtle-stompers out there, that there's still hope for the world. As much hope as there could be when your mom is a pr0n smexer.

Is THAT what kids are for? Huh. I though they were to humiliate me in public and make me feel inadequate as a woman and mother! :D

No, you're right. You get some real magic from them crazy tykes! And they're quite fond of my pron smexing! They look at my icon and say "Mama! and ...dada???"

:D

[joanwilder.livejournal.com]

He looks like your icon? Hmmm, is he coming to Toronto?

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Steady on there, Cyn, I do believe you're drooling! :D

No, he does not look like my icon. Well, maybe if he grew out his hair and got a prostetic nose. He has the right body type and build (tall dark and slim) but his face and demeanor are decidedly un-Snapelike. (and really, thank God for that!)

Severus Snape...fun to fantasize about....probably a real bitch to be married to! (just ask Harry and Lupin! teehee)

And is he coming to Toronto? Hmm...I"m not sure. We'll probably make a family trip out of it (visit Grandma and Grandpa with the kids) but I'm sure he'd steer WAAAY clear of the convention.

He was just playing out a fake "what if' conversation for me the other day;

Person: What are your wife's hobbies?
Lance: Um...she really likes Harry Potter.
Person: Oh, really? That sounds totally not pornographic at all!
Lance: Well, yes...you'd think so, wouldn't you?

Lucky for us, we have no friends, so that conversation is unlikely to ever come about.

I suppose your hubby is staying home to watch the bub?

[joanwilder.livejournal.com]

See, I know your husband is proud of you...and fascinated probably, over what happened to that sweet, innocent girl he married. Oh...wait, I remember your backgrounds....nix that idea.

So, in my house, it'd go like this:

Person: So, what're your wife's hobbies?
Don: She's going straight to hell.
Person: Come on, I heard she's into Harry Potter?
Don: She's going straight to hell.

Yeah, he's gonna be watching the Chinglet

*thinks of the poor tortoise*

Stupid humans, unlike stupid animals, have that knack for spreading the Darwinistic joy, dont they?
/sarcasm

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Oh God, you're SO not kidding! I have some stories that would just horrify you!

[corvus-coronis.livejournal.com]

I can imagine ...
