What What It’s A Butt
(A mother comes in looking to get a hamster for her four children. They range in age from three to ten.)
Mother: “Excuse me, miss?”
Me: “How may I help you?”
Mother: “Can you tell me if this hamster is a girl?”
(I look at the hamster in question. It’s most definitely male.)
Mother: *to me, quietly* “Just say it’s a girl.”
Me: “Yes, it’s a girl.”
Mother: *to children* “Yes, this one’s a girl. We can call her Jessie.”
Child: “What’s that hanging off the back of the hamster?” *points to the hamster’s prominent testicles*
Mother: *looks at me in desperation*
Me: “Er… that’s…”
Mother: *frantic look of desperation*
Me: “…its butt.”
Mother: *look of relief*
(They ended up buying the hamster in spite of its large… butt.)
