The littles and I were out distributing Well Minded door hangers this morning. They enjoy helping by holding the flyers and snacking in the stroller while I run up to each door. Sometimes someone is outside the home, so instead of being a dork and putting the flyer on the doorknob while the person is standing right there, I ask, "may I please give you a flyer for pet sitting?" The person almost always gives me permission and often asks me questions about the business, so it's a nice opportunity. Porter usually says hello and chats them up about how much we love animals, pretty much sealing the deal that we'll snag a new client out of the encounter.
Today we came upon a man hosing down his driveway, so I asked, "good morning, sir! May I please give you a flyer for pet sitting?"
"NO," he barked.
"Alright, then. Have a wonderful day!"
In a volume high enough for the man to hear and with an appropriately-irritated tone, Po asked "Mommy! Why did that man say 'no'? THAT WAS SO MEAN!"
Awesome. We weren't snagging that guy, anyway. Maybe Po taught him something.
