Phylum, Order, Genus, Species

The Curious Georgettes at work had more questions yesterday.

Krissy: "So, uh, like... I heard something."
Me: "What would that be?"
Krissy: "I heard that uh... Ms. Ramada? You know, Ms. Ramada? I heard she's gay."
Me: "Really? You think so?"
Mary: "Lesbian. If it's a girl gay, it's lesbian."
Krissy: "Right.... lesbinian.
Mary: "We dunno. We thought we'd ask you."
Me: "Why ask me?"
Krissy: "Cos you're... you know? You're... gay, right?"
Mary: "Lesbian."

Well, color me rainbow....

Me: "So you think I'm a lesbian because....?"
Krissy: "Well, you never wear skirts."
Mary:" And you walk like a guy."
Krissy: "And you told Vonda you used to drive a truck."
Mary:"One of them big trucks."
Krissy: "Oh, and you don't talk about boys. "
Mary: "Right. And lesbians don't talk about boys. "
Krissy: "Ms. Ramada don't talk about boys."
Me: "Ms. Ramada is 60 years old, she probably is past talking about boys."
Mary:" Ewww, OLD lesbian!"
Krissy: "Ewwwww!"
Mary: "Ewwwwwwwwwww!
Me: "So who else is a lesbian? In case I need a date or something."
Mary: "Ellen Degenerate. And Rosie What's Her Face."
Krissy: "Oooh, and that guy on that old show, you know? "Frasier"?
Me: "Which one?"
Krissy: "Uh....both of 'em? Except they're men lesbinians."
Mary: "And that girl in that movie, you know? The one who don't shave her pits?"
Krissy:"Ewwwwww!"
Mary: "Ewwwwww!"
Me: "Ewwwwww!"
*long pause*
Mary: "So how do lesbians have sex and stuff?"
Me: "Uh-oh, there's Ms. Ramada... aren't you guys supposed to be over in Bed Linens?"
Mary and Krissy: "Eeep! Go! Go!"

I predict the next few weeks will be fun.
Especially once we get around to the concept of male lesbians.

Haha.

Hey, that makes me a lesbian trapped in a man's body.

Wow, my sister used to drive an 18-wheeler - I never knew she was a lesbian. My brother-in-law of 35 years is gonna be really shocked when he finds out. She DOES like her comfortable shoes, too...

You work with some real high achievers, Cheesemistress. How do you not slap them on the back of the head on a daily basis?

Hee hee... just THINK of the potential miseducation you can inflict! Next you oughta ask them if theyve ever heard of "thespians."

Posted by: Karla at November 22, 2004 01:05 PM

This is too easy. Don't you feel lonely? I mean... the children DID come and ask you things. They must think that you are the source of something.

Most of my straight male friends claim to be lesbians anyway. Perhaps the girls aren't as brain-dead as they seem. *reality check* No, wait, they are. ;)

Bob, I view the curious children as a distinct perk of the job.
That and a neverending supply of those little test socks from over in the Shoe Department.

I have always like women, but what if it turns out that my dork is named "Stella?"

Posted by: Jim - PRS at November 22, 2004 06:06 PM

Jim- I'd avoid any guy named "Marlon", in that case.

Posted by: LeeAnn at November 22, 2004 06:09 PM

That's funny, what are they like 12?
Elvis the pelvis... *snort*

These girls are going to be SOO corrupted when you're through with them. They seem confused NOW...

I understand that Arafat was a Lesbinian Terrorist.

There used to be a woman who worked here that was positive I was a lesbian, and just wouldn't believe I wasn't. She wanted me to teach her how to be one since she hated men. I was very glad when she found herself another job.

I am so coming out of the closet now. What a burden it has been to carry my secret.

Posted by: Genuine at November 24, 2004 10:23 AM

I guess it's a good thing you named your penis then.
