Stupid comments redux...

Following my post last night I can only assume there's something in the water...

Took two of the kids to the vets this morning as they have a slight skin infection - been there before with one of them and antibiotics will clear it right up - and as I'm waiting for the vet to finish his calculations regarding how much antibiotics I need, the woman next to me in the waiting room turns to me, looks at the cat carrier and asks:

"What have you got in there? Gerbils?"

That's when you say "Yes, but most people call them 'cats'."

Except, in this case, most people call them 'ferrets', since that's what they are.... ;)

It was a bit of a joke, you calling them something they weren't 'cause the lady thought they were something totally not like gerbils. I think it fell flat. :)
