So I called my insurance to start my claim today. We start with all the info...then it happened.
AAA: Was anyone injured?
Me: No.
AAA: Did you have any car seats in the vehicle?
Me: Ummm.... just a laundry basket that was belted in
AAA: Uh, a laundry basket?
Me: Yes. For Chuck and Buck.
AAA: Your children ride in a laundry basket?
Me: Don’t be silly! It’s for my ducks!
AAA: Yourrrrrrr what?
Me: Ducks. The laundry basket is for Chuck and Buck, my pet ducks. You know... quack quack ducks?
After she spit her water all over, and the laughing fit quieted down, she asked if I was being serious.
Me: Ma’am, doesn’t everyone travel with their ducks in a laundry basket?
Then I lost it and started laughing. We had a great talk and finished up with the details and got through the call.
Reminds me to one of the first video conferences with a customer in Spring this year: The office window was open when suddenly the ducks decided to »kindly« ask for some treats…
Next 30 minutes everybody was watching ducks eating treats over a zoom-conference.
