This little old lady came in today. At our shop we see our share of oldies. But this little old lady was so adorable, I couldn’t help but notice her. Her hair was permed to perfection, tidy clothes and a zimmer frame. Trust me, where I work we get our share of oldies that aren’t in such mint condition. The little old lady made her way up to the counter and started telling me about a dress-up party at her retirement home. So cute. Old people dressing up. I could totally imagine them having a high tea while watching the tenis. I asked her what she was looking for. You will never believe what she said …
“Do you sell whips and corsets here?”
Oh my god. WHAT? Little old ladies in my mind are not ment to be rolling around on zimmer-frames in corsets holding whips. What kind of a party theme calls for a dominatrix granny!? I almost choked. I told her politely that we didn’t have any in stock and then she was on her merry way again. I swear, she could have been the woman they based the sky adverts on…
Either way, I’ll never judge an old person ever again.
