My Funny Story for Today...

[RoadRash 0]

First of all, I am 23, keep that in mind...

Ok, well, I work at a local zoo in the gift shop, so I encounter a lot of frazzled parents and an abundance of rambunctious children.

One child was wandering around the shop and wanted to know the price of a toy, another child says to him, "Go ask the old lady."

First of all, I thought this was rather funny, but I held in the giggles while the child sheepishly walked up to the counter handed me the toy and asked me the price. I smiled and told the child how much it cost, she smiled and walked back to her sibling.

When both of the children walked up to the counter and handed me their toys, their mom was fishing through her purse for change when I said to the little boy, "I'm so old, I remember when you had to lick a stamp."

The little boy looked at me with eyes the size of saucers. The mom started laughing and the little girl looked confused. As they were walking out of the store, I could hear the little boy say to his sister something along the lines of wow, she must be as old as mommy...

OMG...I laughed so hard I had to sit down!!!... And their mom was like 10-15 years older than me...ROFLAO!!!!


~R+R......It was just one of those moments that makes you laugh until your stomach hurts...

The money stuff doesn't make sense to me with your funny money, but I remember when apple Chewits were £0.10 (and still available), a can of Coke was £0.21, and TV programmes weren't sponsored. AT ALL!!!!

They called 'em ditto machines (AKA spirit mimeographs). I used to sniff the pages and get drunk off the fumes.
