Not off to a good start dude…

I’m expecting my parents to come over soon and when I heard a knock at the door a minute ago I thought it was them, so I yelled out to let them know I was on my way. When I looked out the peephole before opening the door, I see a young man waving at me. I felt obligated to open it since it was obvious he knew I was looking. He started off his sales pitch by asking me if my parents were home. So not good. When I told him it was my home he then launched into how sorry he was but that I looked young. Never the way to get me on your good side. I know it’s supposed to be a compliment but when you hear it ever single day and people think you need your mommy and daddy to be home, it just isn’t. But I wouldn’t have bought his magazines anyway. I hate sales calls and hate it even more when people show up at my house selling stuff—Unless it is a kid for school.

    I remember one day when I was home sick with bronchitis or some such disease in the seventh grade that a phone solicitor called. Since it was the days before caller ID, I answered, thinking it might be a parent or grandparent checking up on me. Nope. The guy on the other end asked, “How are you doing today, sir?” I replied, “I’m a 12 year old GIRL home sick from school. Can I help you?” He stammered an embarrassed reply and soon found a way to get off the call. 🙄

    So, don’t ask me how the above comment got on this entry…it is supposed to go with Brenden and the chores.

    Though this story was hi-freaking-larious! 🙂
