A funny thing happened at Starbucks the other day...
My wife has a rather unorthodox job, for lack of a better way to put it. She's a graduate from IU with a BA in Psychology. There's surprisingly not a whole, WHOLE lot she can do with it. I've pushed to try to get her to go back to get a Masters' degree or her doctorate. If she does that, she can start her own practice. She wants to work with kids, or people dealing with substance abuse. She'd be excellent at it, and I really would support her throughout the process of getting the next degree.
However, right now, my wife sells sex toys.
I know what you're thinking- "Whaaaaat?" She works with a large, reputable company called Pure Romance(link goes to her website. Buy stuff. /spam). They offer in home parties for women- a "girls' night in," if you will. They've been in business a very long time, and they're very good to her. She did one of these "fantasy parties" Tuesday night, and called on her "sponsor" to loan her some extra demo items for this party. When the party was over, we went to return the items, and the wife felt the need to make sure everything was in the box so we didn't have to make 2 trips. She found that she had left her "Mr. Dependable"(that's the name in the catalog. Look it up.) in the box. We drop off the demos to her friend and decide to hit up Starbucks' drivethru.
We pull to the speaker, debate on what to get, and order. When we pull to the window, an 18-21ish looking girl takes my card, and that's when I realize: my wife still has a 7" toy in her lap. I casually mention, "Hey, hon, you have a dildo in your lap." My wife, being a card, sticks it to the steering wheel. The girl in the window goes, "Oh, nice." Eyes larger than any I've ever seen. Suddenly, she's filled with questions. "Where did you get that?" My wife tells her she does fantasy parties, and sells things like that. The girl asks- "Is it... is it like- gel, or what?" Of course you know this leads to my wife handing it to her, and the girl showing it to a male co-worker. She gives the girl a card, catalog, collects her toy, and we drive away, sipping our Frappucinos. Good times.
