A proud moment… I actually won an AWARD for strangest showing at our Chico Association of Realtors holiday party a number of years ago.
I met an agent (whom I shall call “Linda,” because that is her name) at one of my listings. Her clients had not yet arrived, so we went in to turn on lights. I headed to the bedroom areas while Linda went to the kitchen.
No sooner had I walked into the first bedroom but I heard a blood-curdling scream coming from the kitchen! Running toward the sound, I saw that Linda had wedged herself between the kitchen door and the wall. “What IS that?” she shrieked.
Looking into the pantry, I saw a pair of beady little eyes staring out of a pudgy, adorably-tilted head and heard a distinctive SNORT. I realized I had forgotten that the tenant had a pot-bellied PIG as a pet!
“Well, Linda,” I said as casually as I could manage without bursting out laughing, “It’s just a PIG!”
The award at the holiday party? A gift certificate to a local RIB SHACK!
