Every time I step into Abercrombie & Fitch, I’m greeted by one of the many sharply dressed sales associates. While this cool greeting might resonate with trendy teens, it becomes rather awkward when exchanged between a fashionable mom and a youthful sales guy. We all know it, even my embarrassed kids. Often, I try to lighten the mood with a simple, “Um… not much.” But honestly, there are countless other ways I’d love to respond. Here are a few suggestions:
- Well, I’m experiencing a frontal wedgie, running late for Zumba, and need to book a mammogram. How about you?
- Ever since I added more fiber to my diet, things have been quite eventful.
- Could you point me to your “plus size” section, please?
- I’d like a gin and tonic with extra lime, thanks.
- Are you as upset as I am about Zayn leaving One Direction?
- Looks like someone’s late on their electric bill again?
- LOL! Talk to you later!
- Can you crank up the music? I can’t feel the bass in my left kidney.
- Why are you getting so close to me?
- Any suggestions for where I can find some overpoweringly cheap cologne?
- …and where might I find your mom jeans?
- Aren’t you going to check my ID?
- Does this hoodie come in adult sizes, or do your clothes only cater to toddlers?
- I’d love to browse, but I left my guide dog at home.
- It seems like you have quite a bit of funky swag in here, for sure.
- Did you see Downton Abbey last night? Things are getting wild, right?
- Want me to help you organize those shirts? That pile looks a bit chaotic.
- Sorry, but I’m married.
- ACTIVIAAAAAA!
- What’s your take: Toyota Sienna or Honda Odyssey?
- “If I could turn back time… If I could find a way!”
- 1996 called; it wants its flannel shirt back… oh wait, never mind.
- Hold on, I’m trying to find my Groupon. It’s around here somewhere.
- I think I might have dated your dad in high school… or maybe we just had a drunken fling; I can’t recall.
- Do you mean, “What’s up?” Because “That’s what she said!”
