Just a few conversation snippets overheard in the lobby that I found amusing.
She take my money...
There was an older couple. The lady (OL) had asked where we purchased some of our lobby throw pillows and my CW went in the back to see if she could find out. Her husband (OH) was not happy.
OH: "Stop spending money! You're spending too much!"
OL: "Oh, no I'm not!"
OH: "You always spend money! If I had known you were going to turn this into a shopping trip I wouldn't have come!"
OL: "But these pillows would look so great in [son]'s living room, don't you think?"
OH: "For Christ sake, he's 40 years old; he doesn't need you to keep buying him stuff!"
That made me giggle but also dawww a little bit.
What is fun?
A couple came up and looked at the flyer for our kids program and noticed how it conveniently ended shortly after the wife's spa appointment.
Mother: "Hey, [kid], come look!"
Parents: *go over all the activities that our kids program offers*
Kid: "But what about the parents?"
Father: "Well, you see that's part of the fun! You get to go without the parents! We have to stay behind while you go do all those things!"
Good one there, Dad.
Plausible deniability
I was assisting a guest and her two little kids went down the hall, and they started SCREAMING.
Kid: "STOP! GIVE IT TO ME! GIVE IT TO ME! STOP IT!"
The guest got a mortified look on her face, turned, and bolted after them, and even though they were out of sight, you could tell exactly when they noticed her.
Kid: "STOP! GIVE IT TO ME NOW! GIVE IT GIVE IT What I didn't do anything!"
Literally it was just like that; there was no pause between the kid screaming at his sibling and then denying he did anything.
I know the mom was embarrassed, but that just made my evening.
