Not sure where to put this...hope it's in the right place.
(Only two days left at the video store)
This week at work I've been wearing little reindeer antlers with bells on them. Yes, yes, I'm a dork, you may point and laugh. But the kids just love them...well, ok, there was the young girl who was terrified of them...but that's not what this story is about.
There's a gentleman who just started renting from our store. I'm not sure where he's from...I've narrowed it down to possibly somewhere in Asia. As we are talking he keeps staring at my head and then says, "That's a very interesting...*searches for a word*...costume? you are wearing...on your head." and he points to the antlers with a rather confused look on his face. "What...um...are you supposed to be?"
"Oh!" I say, "these are reindeer antlers"
He gives me a blank look, and tries out the word, "reindeer".
So I say, "A reindeer...like what pulls Santa's sled", and I point to the TV where we are playing Rudolph.
His face lights up as he makes the connection, and he says, "oooh" and nods his head. Then he says, "I was going to say you were an elf...but I didn't think that was right....reindeer". Then he points to my antlers again and laughs and says, "Very Nice."
That made my day. Sometimes it pays to be a dork.
