So we DO live in small World...
A few weeks ago I am working a holiday boutique and selling towels and details with my son. I agreed to pay him 10%, thinking we`d do about $100 or so at this school boutique. As I was trying to sell microfiber packs, he kept hitting customers with $150 detail gift certificates..he sold 5!!! At the end of the day, I paid him $88.
So along comes one of my parents from my class..I teach 6th grade. We start talking and she says, "Oh, I`m sorry, but I can`t buy anything from you because that would be like going against family. My husband`s brother does this...he makes chemicals for car washing."
I`m thinking, Ok, probably works for Megs. or something. She is blanking on the name.
"Where does he live?"
"Tennessee."
"Are you telling me that your son`s uncle is Dr. G of Optimum?!!""
She breaks out in laughter..."YES!"
I get a bottle of his polish and we take a picture and text it to him. She then says, "Well, I know what to get you for Christmas."
I am going to meet him on his next visit as they are having me over to their house. How cool is that? I use Optimum and have bigger plans with his product for this year. I`m also glad that his nephew is a very good student..makes it easier to talk with him.
