tripperfunsterAh, 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!

Date: 2006-11-15 02:01 am (UTC)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?

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
