I Should Have Worked At Sea World

What does it say about my life that when I walk into Baskin Robbins, the guy behind the counter is already standing in front of the chocolate mint chip ice cream with a sugar cone in his hand telling me:

CLERK:  I know a small but really a large. Gotcha.

I’ve got this guy trained like a seal. Just like Teddy.  Although, Teddy is actually more like a deaf seal.

You think I’m kidding? Look here.

Like I was saying and just so you know, my rates are very reasonable.

  1. I get the same reaction from my toddler… what can I say – we are the leaders and women with authority.

  2. Sophie says:

    How do you get a small that’s really a large?
    I adore chocolate mint.

  3. You need to train him to bring you ice-cream at a simple click of the fingers. Why should you have to get the ice-cream yourself?!

  4. I love his complete disinterest in whatever you are saying. I get the same look from my kid All Day Long.

  5. Rachel says:

    I’ve got my cats trained better than that…

    Just open a can of wet food (or grate some cheese or cook some meat) and they all come running. They’ll even properly beg by getting on their hind legs.

  6. Michele says:

    Well done! You’ve got that dog completely trained to be your straight man.

  7. Just like a man; they never take us seriously.

  8. Suzicate says:

    Yes, ha and Wylie do have a lot in common!

  9. Alexandra says:

    I get the same reaction from my kids. Mint chocolate chip, oh, how I love that ice cream!!

  10. Mmmmmmmm, mint chocolate chip ice cream….(now picture that noise that Homer Simpson makes when he really likes something. I can’t figure out how to spell it.)

    Looks like Teddy and my dog went to the same obedience class.

  11. Keyona says:

    I’d love to hear what he’s thinking. Probably “Why is this chick yelling shit at me?” LOL!

  12. Kristina P. says:

    At least he didn’t try to kill you, like other animals at Sea World.

  13. I think Teddy is playing dumb!

  14. Ann's Rants says:

    This is why I love you.

  15. Neena says:

    That’s awesome

  16. You scared me when you yelled “Down!”
    I’m typing from the floor.

  17. Carabee says:

    Can you come train my daughter?

  18. Char says:

    Don’t you know you have to bribe them with treats. Teddy sure looks like a sweetie.

  19. It’s clear from this video that you have been training my husband. Great job.

  20. The Zadge says:

    It’s the same with canines as it is with humans: when you are beautiful as he is, you don’t have to listen to anyone else!

  21. Is the clerk at Baskin Robbins marriage material? Because a man who tells you want you think you want to hear, but then gives you what you really want? That’s what I think they call a keeper!

  22. Patty says:

    I don’t really need any dog training, but do you think you could train the kids at my local ice cream shop for me? I wouldn’t mind getting a small that is really a large….

  23. So are you saying that you tell the guy behind the counter to roll over and come?

    Er, I mean, good thing Teddy’s not behind the counter. You’d never get your chocolate chip mint fix.

  24. Bobbi says:

    Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

    That looks an awful lot like my version of animal training!

  25. Gropius says:

    Husband thinks I am a freak, but the best thing in the entire world to me is Baskin Robbins chocolate chip ice cream. So freaking GOOD. Flanders understands…

  26. Bobbi says:

    P.S. I just linked to you on my blog.

  27. OMG, I miss Baskin Robbins Mint Chocolate Chip. It’s the only thing I like chocolate in…and that’s because it’s shaved chocolate and not big-ass huge chunks!

    *sigh*

    And your dog is gorgeous. I could forgive him anything. Almost!

  28. Lady Fi says:

    LOL! I definitely see a good future for you as dog trainer.. .Failing that, ice cream trainer…

  29. He’s so cute! Obviously – he’s one of good looking dogs who never felt the need to try… This may not serve him well later in life. He’s lucky to have you to encourage him. Show him pictures of all the bald guys at your last class reunion – that might make him think.

  30. AmyMusings says:

    Can you keep my dog from jumping up on the counter and eating a stick of butter? Urgent!! Come quickly! Come!

  31. Akilah Sakai says:

    I think I know what went wrong with the first command. Teddy wasn’t sure if you were saying CUM or COME. You have to be more clear Jessica!

  32. Chris says:

    My 4YO made me replay the video like five times. He said, “I like dat dog.”

    Your dog listens as well as mine…

  33. Teddy is so adorable! Though a man ready to scoop ice cream into a cone for me sounds pretty adorable, too.

  34. Lagunatic says:

    It’s like you’re ME!! My husband listens to me with the same intensity as your dog and I have a penchant for mint chocolate shakes from B&R!
    This mirror image thing between you and I is seriously freaking me out.
    ;)

  35. Joanie M says:

    Teddy thinks he’s a cat… he sure acts like one!

  36. heidi says:

    I know! I have good intentions and think single scoop…single scoop, but what comes out of my mouth is I’ll have a scoop of mint chocolate chip and a scoop of chocolate mousse royale. Yum.

  37. He’s a genius and so so cute.

  38. Kristine says:

    The people at Chick Fil A recognize my voice at the drive through…and if I order something different or extra, I get a “really?” Sounds like your dog and my dogs went through the same vigorous training.

  39. Suzy says:

    This is the method I use to train my boyfriends. With the same result.
