This Conversation Was Not Ballin’ After The Third Time
(We get a lot of families with kids that just want to look at the animals. Sometimes the parents can be a bit clueless when it comes to anything other than a dog or a cat, so I have to have this conversation every couple of months. It’s important to note that my store only sells male small animals: guinea pigs, hamsters, etc.)
Customer: “Excuse me. I think this hamster is having a baby.”
(I go to look because, even though it’s very rare, our supplier sometimes sends a female by mistake.)
Me: “It’s not having a baby.”
Customer: “Then it’s got a massive tumor! Something’s wrong with it!”
Me: “Ma’am, that’s a male hamster, and that’s not a tumor. Those are testicles.”
(They usually get really quiet after that.)
