A friend of ours recently started a new job at a really nice salon in a mall close to where we live. She needed hair models to demonstrate her talent, so I volunteered myself-and then my husband. She had said she had almost no male hair models, and felt awkward asking, and to be honest, I really can't blame her. I mean, who wants to go up to someone else's husband and say, "Want to come to my work for 2 hours so I can massage your head and talk awkwardly?"
So anyway, I volunteered my husband. All I had to say was, "It's free!" and he was on board. With my husband, the key to his heart is through his wallet-a full wallet.
I decided ahead of time that Clark and I would go to the mall with him and wander around just the two of us, relaxed and happy. What I had not taken into consideration was the salespeople at kiosks. Are they in their right mind? Seriously!
Why would they bother approaching a mom with a tiny baby in a stroller? There are so many reasons not to.
Reason #1- I would like to meet a regular family that has spare money to waste on frivolous purchases.
Reason #2- I would like to meet a mom with a newborn that has time to USE this stuff. A 14-step face cleansing program? Ha! Try me in 18 years! If I brush my teeth it's a miracle!
Reason #3- Do you not realize that if the stroller reaches a speed of less than 20 km per hour my child will start shrieking and WILL NEVER STOP?
Yet every kiosk tried to stop me. By the end of it I just started laughing as they approached and kept walking. Hopefully they learn, and approach only those childless-or at least the ones with a full-time nanny! :)
