Funny Story

So a couple weeks ago I was working up at Deer Valley (PS - I've been teaching ski school one day/week up at Deer Valley in Park City, UT this winter) and we were nearing the end of they day so my group of 5-6 kids was doing pretty well. We decided to take them up on the big chairlift for a real run down the mountain. I was skiing behind them when all of a sudden this young woman, probably close to my age, falls down right behind me. I think my slow class caught her off guard or something. Well, I stop and turn around to ask if she was ok and all that. Then her mom pulls up and with a devious little smile on her face looks at me and says, "She fell for you the moment she saw you!"
Mom and I proceeded to laugh REALLY hard for quite a while. Haha! It was super funny. Meanwhile the poor girl was absolutely mortified - which made it all the more funny to the two of us.
For a split second I considered hinting that I was available but I thought I might get in trouble. You know - employee/guest relations and all that crap. Anyway, my class was getting on down the hill so I had to take off before I could think of an appropriate and witty response. Seriously though, I was chuckling to myself the rest of they way down the mountain.

  2. Speaking of wishing for a quick mind with ready witty responses, a group of premeds was interviewing on campus while I was studying on the second floor of the halls. One of them, trying to make a good impression on everyone, pointed to the stairs of our two story building and asked me if the stairs go downstairs. I couldn't think of anything to say so I just mumbled yes. I told Shelli about it and without missing a breath she said, "You should have said, Nope, that's our slinky racetrack."
