So with my job I am on the phone all the time with people across the country. Today I was talking to a sweet lady in Oklahoma and this is how it went -
Me: Ok, well I will follow up with you next week on your outstanding agreements. Please let me - what, oh ok...
Sweet OK Lady: Can I tell you something?
Me: Sure
SOL: You sound like Minnie Mouse! You either sound like Minnie Mouse or a child
Me: Oh, well, um thanks
SOL: Do you mind me asking how old you are?
Me: No, not at all. I am 29
SOL: WHAT?! Really?! I thought you were 18 or 19 maybe, I wasn't expecting 29. Oh, I hope I didn't offend you
Me: No, it's ok. The 18 ship has definitely sailed! I get it all the time that I sound like a child on the phone, I have never heard Minnie Mouse before though!
It's true though, at least once a month when I answer the phone someone asks if they can talk to my mommy or daddy! I don't think I have a child voice, but apparently when I am on the phone I do.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

lol!! Too funny.
ReplyDeleteMe too!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThough I have never been told I sound like Minnie.
It does come in handy when you get telemarketers on the phone though (no sorry - my mum isn't here- lol):-)
well on the bright side it's better to have a child's voice than being told you have a pensionner's voice... And Minnie Mouse is very glamourous afterall :P
ReplyDeleteToo cute...
ReplyDeleteSo cute! At least you sound feminine! I sound more masculine as I have a lower voice!! This may be one reason that I have never tried to do a vlog! I hate the way my voice sounds.
