Funny Story

In case you didn't know, when I'm not selling Real Estate, I'm usually dancing. I work part time at Old Town Ballroom as an instructor, and I'm on the board of directors for the Wichita Swing Dance Society. I do performances for local events, and I socially dance at every possible opportunity.

As a result of this, SOMETIMES I have the eerie experience of being recognized by strangers. I'll be going along through my day and suddenly someone I don't know stops me, asks if they saw me dance at such-and-such event, and we chat for a minute. It's kind of cool, and kind of surreal at the same time.

Well, yesterday, Bryan and I were shopping for furniture and we decided to buy this couch for our basement:


So we talked to the sales guy and got the transaction squared away, and as we turn to leave, he says to me "Hey, don't you dance? For like the Wichita Ballroom?" I got a little flustered (which always happens at times like these) and stammered that I do. He said "Yeah, I saw you dance at the Bridal Fair at Century II a few months ago. . ." and I said something and we chatted a little. Then, he says to BRYAN, "Congratulations dude, you're dating a local celebrity!"

I just about burst out laughing on the spot! a) I am not used to being talked about that way, and b) WHY would this furniture salesman assume that two people, buying a couch together, wearing wedding rings, were just dating? I don't know, but the whole episode just makes me laugh. Hopefully it got a giggle out of you too.
