My BEST EVER Surrender Call

[CavySpirit]

Just now (out of state number):

me: "Hello"

her: "um, hi" (about a 6-year old girl)

her: "Is this Cavy Spirit?" She actually pronounced it right.

me: "Yes, but can I talk to your parents?"

me: "Is your mom home?" (I will not talk to kids on the phone)

her: "Yes, but she's in the shower."

me: "Okay, what's your question?"

her: "Do you take tadpoles?"

me: "uh no."

her: (sigh) "okay. bye."


OMG. That was just too precious. I have caller id. I'll probably call the mother back later just out of curiosity and for a laugh.

[piggly wiggly]

Aww, that is cute.

[CavySpirit]

So, now I see we actually have a serious thread on tadpoles. I wonder if it's related?!

EDIT: I don't think so. My call came from the great state of Alabama.

Aww poor little thing-let us know if you get to talk to the mom, I'd love to know the story behind this!

[Jane_G]

That is so cute. I can just imagine the conversation that took place in that home before you got the phone call.

[AnimalHouse36]

Haha, thats the cutest thing I've ever heard! I would also LOVE to hear the story behind this phone call!

I imagine she did an internet search and somehow the forum popped up because of the tadpole discussion.

I just got someone wanting to "donate" kittens to my rescue. I always adore the people who think they are donating the animal, that I actually want said animal and that they are doing me a favor.

[hydrohoki]

Wait Cavyspirit, you don't take tadpoles or is it just because she's out of state ?

[VoodooJoint]

She just doesn't take out-of-state tadpoles.

[wickedrodent]

Oh my goodness, thats too cute. I too would love to hear the story behind this.

[GuineaAddict]

Sounds almost like the mom thought it would be a good pet or project for the kid and the kid didn't want to have anything to do with it. I could just see her waiting for her mom to get in the shower and making a sneak search on the net and then calling you.

You should tell them you take them and see if they'll drive from Alabama to California. Then again, better not. The kid might put them in an envelope.

I almost spit my coffee out while reading this. Could you imagine opening an envelope of dried tadpoles? Ugh!

That is so cute! I would love to know what happens.
