Perplexing Conversation

**I know that Abby is 15 months old today, but I have no new pictures. I am off work tomorrow and she has her check-up, so I will post tomorrow night. ****

*****************
In the meantime, I'll share these little gems with you. As most of you know, we are looking for a place to live in Tennessee. This is an actual conversation that I had with a gal working at an apartment complex today.

****
We live in North Carolina and are looking for an apartment towards the end of the month.
Well.....come on by and take a look at our complex.
We live in North Carolina and can't come visit. I was just wanting to get a ballpark figure of pricing and availability.
If you are ready to move in right away, we have a 2 bedroom/2 bath available this weekend.
We live in North Carolina and will not be moving to TN until the end of the month.
Oh.....well will you be in the area any time before the end of the month so that you can come look?
We live in North Carolina and will not be in the area until we actually move. I am willing to fill out an application and send in a deposit for the right price.
OK, great. I will email you a quote. And remember that we are open late until 7 and also from 10 to 5 on the weekends if you want to come by and take a look.
OK. I will try and stop by this week. Please have your manager give me a call.

****
By the way, what is your last name?
Staples
Like the month?
What?
(mumble, mumble)...like the month?
Silence
Ma'am?
I am sorry, can you please spell that for me?
A-P-R-I-L, like the month.
I said Staples. Like the store.
Laughing...Oh, I thought you said April and thought that Ann April was such a cute name!

****************

It was really all that I could to hold myself together.

We had some friends over who had a sixteen month old who flipped out everytime they changed his diaper. Seeing that has made me feel better. Colt was only have four months old when they were here but I remember it so Colt and Abby are not alone!
