Mermaid Hair and Customer Service

I was out the sales floor yesterday when I heard a little 's voice excitedly exclaiming...

"She's got mermaid hair mom! She's a mermaid!!"

Not paying any attention it, I continued hide from someone I knew down the isle I was pretending be working in.

Yah, not going lie, I am that person who will avoid people I know in public places if I know they will want stand there and have a long, drawn out conversation about every ailment, every stroke of bad luck, and every inconvenient experience they've had since the last time we spoke.

This goes double when I'm at work.

"Mom!! Look!! Look!!"

I felt a soft tapping on my shoulder and turned see who it was.

In this day of COVID-19, most people are afraid come within earshot of anyone ask a question, let alone tap on their shoulder get their attention.

"I'm really sorry Ma'am...." It was a young mom, she looked really hesitant approach . With the mask you can't see smile anymore, so instead I pulled out my customer service voice and pretended I wasn't just hiding out sketchily mere feet from her trying to avoid people contact.

"Hi there, what's guys?"

"My has recently discovered mermaids and...."

"Are you a mermaid??? I think you're a mermaid!!!"

I couldn't stop myself from chuckling. Her little mask had a mermaid it.... I could tell this mom really loved this girl.

"SSShhhhh.... Don't tell anyone, but even we mermaids need jobs too."

Her face lit and she smiled a smile of pure delight.

Sometimes, it's in our perception of something.

Well thank you! Truth be told, she kind of boosted my ego. LOL I recently started wearing my hair curly again and have been kind of feeling insecure about it. Now I know it looks like mermaid hair.

    True customer service. You made that young girls week. I am sure she talked about the encounter with a mermaid for days.

    You are great.
Well, thank you! That was very kind. Kids are only young for a short time, I'm always amazed at where they find magic. When my middle son was tiny we were at a farm store around Christmas time and there was a Santa there that day with 1 reindeer. My son had grabbed my hand and yelled "I know where the other reindeer are! They're on the roof!" The Santa had played right along and started up a little conversation with him.

    That's a fun, bright spot in your day and for that little girl as well!
We all need a little something to believe in once in a while.... When my oldest son was 4, we were at the gas station one time and a man with a white beard and white hair was in there. My son excitedly exclaimed "Mom! Mom!! It's Santa! I know where Santa is when it's not Christmas!!" This guy had totally gotten a kick out of it.

    OMG you lied to that poor innocent child? I would imagine the Mom got a kick out of that, too.
When they were walking away I heard the mom laughing and the girl saying "They have legs when they aren't in water! Just like in the movie! Did you see it mom? I wonder where her shells are..."
