Last week, Lauren asked me to take the Maxfield and Wyatt to either Lowe's or Home Depot for the kids workshops they hold on Saturday mornings.
I arrived at the Lowe's promptly at 10 AM. I checked in with the customer service center and went through the store, to the back, where they hold the kids workshops. There were already a few parents and their children waiting in the back. A gentleman wearing the maroon apron with a Lowe's logo asked me if I was there for the kids workshop.
"Yes." I replied.
"Well, you are at the right spot." He said.
"Good. I am hoping that you can get this one" I said, pointing to Max, "to eat his vegetables and the shorter one is in his terrible twos, so I am hoping you can fix that."
The guy just stared at me. He then pointed to a box filled with small wooden go-cart kits and hammers and safety goggles.
"Ooohhhh." I said. "By kids workshops, you mean that the kids get to build stuff. Here I thought it meant you were going to fix my kids."
So the guy didn't even laugh!! What a bozo! I laughed!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the workshop for us too. I hope the chap fell on the floor with the giggles.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Just be thankful the workshop wasn't there to fix the fathers!
ReplyDeleteThat BILL, SUCH a kidder! At least you didn't say anything REALLY inappropriate like "that's what she said."
ReplyDeleteBut I bet you THOUGHT it.
Why does no one get your humor?
ReplyDeleteIt makes me want to cry!
That's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThey do kids workshops? I wonder if I'm too old...
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you though...if I had been running that, it would have made me laugh.
Bet those two are licking their chops to "fix" the wee one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame to waste such a great joke on someone whose sense of humor wasn't plugged in!
ReplyDeleteLOL, it's never that easy!
ReplyDeleteSome people just don't "get it."
ReplyDeleteHa! I love your humor.
ReplyDeleteThe reason he didn't laugh: He's had toddlers. He knows you weren't joking. ;)
ReplyDeleteI laughed! Some times people just don't like funny. I bet their lives are totally in need of an overhaul!
ReplyDeleteI can explain why he wasn't ammused ... I was there only a couple of minutes before you with my neighbors kids asking that man if they had a quick service line. You didn't see me because once he explained what it was really all about I had to get those little imps right back to their yard.
ReplyDeleteIf you find the fix it place for the short and loud people let me know... I've got a few things I'd like to straighten out!
ReplyDeleteYou probably made that guy crap himself. The look on his face was probably priceless...
ReplyDeleteI hate when you waste a good joke on someone with no sense of humor. That is great. I am always telling customer with helpful kids they can leave them here; we could use the help. lol
ReplyDeleteHee hee! And I wonder why Lauren didn't accompany you... :D
