Because our balcony is directly above the front door, I just walked outside and called down to see who it was. (This also saves me energy from a couple of sets of stairs and serves as a good safety measure.) A woman said hello and, maybe because of her HUGE sunglasses, for a split second I thought it was Nichole Richie.
She was a random person inquiring about the unit available beside us. So, we spent a few minutes talking about the structure and amenities of the condo, which I was more than happy to do. (If the unit next to us sold, all of them would be full and a better selling point on ours in a few years.) She was...very young, used the word "like" quite a bit...and talking about the 3 or 4 dogs that she has (all of them are Yorkshire Terriers).
I thought things were going well...except when she starting talking about resident hubby and my plan for the next few years. Puzzled, I asked her what she was referring to. She was talking about the noise level...and I was even more confused.
Finally, she spit out the question that instantly produced 5 more gray hairs on my head.
Her: "Well...are you, like, going to have babies any time soon?"
Oh, dear.
I, obviously, couldn't hide the look on my face...which was a mix between annoyance and confusion.
She was outside of our condo today, once again...and she caught me as I was about to take Moe for a walk... I didn't recognize who she was until she reminded me of our meeting in the summer.
It looks like she's going to be our new neighbor...:o)
She probably doesn't realize it but she will, to me, forever be known as "girl who poses extreeeeeeeemely deep questions upon her future neighbors." :o)
