What you are about to read to a true story, so brace yourself:
Some days are meant to roll over and stay in bed! So......I'm all dressed up and got my car all cleaned and smelling like "new car". All of my paperwork is in order and I am feeling preeeeeeeety proud of myself. I shake the hand of some young, new prospective Buyers who are all wide-eyed and excited about the propect of purchasing their first home. They have the cutest little girl, I would say around 2 years old with them. We put her carseat behind the driver's seat and fasten it securely to insure her safety and make sure she has toys, a blanket, and treats for the long ride to see homes. Dad hops up front with me to look at the listing sheets and discuss how an offer works, while Mom settles in behind the passenger side so I can see her clearly while we talk. The morning was going beautifully.....we had eliminated 2 of the 5 homes we were scheduled to see. We were laughing and all was going particularly well if I could say so. We were sailing down 75th St. onto the next home.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, that precious little girl in the back seat said somthing I will soon never forget....."Mommy, b_ _ by" She then proceeded to unhook herself out of the well restrained child proof car seat which I meticulously installed, walked over to her mother who raised her shirt and.....started eating lunch. I slammed on the brakes and swirved aimlessly!
People!!!!! For the health and safety of every Realtor in the country, PLEASE feed your children before embarking on a house hunting trip with a stranger or at least give us some notice. It was all I could do to control my mini-van from crashing, smile, and continue the conversation as normal while all the while thinking that I am not running a "wet bar".
Have a wonderful day, stay safe, and remember it's a good life!
