Lines

I was just getting ready to head out to work out tonight after I got off from nannying. There was a funny knock at the door, I thought it was our good friend who lives across the way. As I opened the door, there were two guys standing there who were about 20 years old, obviously not my friend Erin. The guys of course were selling something...which I hate soliciters. One of them was talking so fast I don't even remember why he was selling magazines.

I think the thing that made me mad was that the guy who did most of the speaking was trying to use every line in the book on me. (Here is some background info: he had asked me what I do for work so I told him I was a teacher, a chef, and now a nanny). Now for some of his lines: 1. So what are you cooking us for dinner tonight? 2. What do I have to do to get signed up for you to teach me? 3. Are those natural highlights? 4. Can I guess that you are like 19 or 20 years old?

The funny part was that I called this guy out on all his shit. I am not going to put up with that crap or his attempt to schmooze me into buying a magazine.
