H is for Hooker (A-Z Blogging Challenge)

~

I've been a Hooker for about 3.5 years now.  I guess I have a pretty good pimp. He takes care of me without slapping me around and taking my money. (That is what I've always heard about the hooker/pimp relationship).

Anyway, what is funny to me is when people ask for my name (for general business reasons) they almost always act like they didn't hear the "Hooker" part.

"Can I get your name ma'am"
"Kimberly Hooker"
"Kimberly . . . what was the last name again?"
"Hooker."
"Uh, Hooper?"
"No, Hooker. H-o-o-k-e-r."
"Hooker?"
"Yes, Hooker. Like a woman on the streets? Hooker."
"Okay (relieved chuckle). I thought that was what you were saying, but I wasn't gonna ask."

Clay and Kimberly Hooker
I've never seen this happen to my husband.  He gets asked his name and they hear him clearly every single time.   Guess they just don't want to offend me.

By the way, I'm loving this t-shirt, and I love even more that the K is red, clearly signifying Kimberly!  My only thing is, well, you know what would happen if I wore it out . . . I probably would sell a lot more books!

Hello Kimberly. I found this through the A-Z challenge. Brilliant post. Raised a smile, but I'll bet it gets annoying at times.

Kimberley, you are a hoot. Every time I turn around, you're making me laugh!
Thank you. I love laughing.

I love it. I completely missed this in the byline. And of course the "K" is for Kimberly!
