Walking into Abercrombie & Fitch is always an experience. The moment you step inside, one of their sharply dressed sales associates greets you with the same slick line — a phrase that probably resonates with trendy teens but feels a bit out of place when exchanged between a middle-aged mom in yoga pants and a young guy in skinny jeans. My kids definitely feel the awkwardness, but I always try to lighten the mood with a response that’s just as cool.
Typically, I might say something like, “Oh, not much.” But honestly, there are way more entertaining ways to react. Here are some of my favorite comebacks:
- “Well, I have a wedgie, I’m late for Zumba, and my doctor says I need a mammogram. What’s happening with you?”
- “Ever since I upped my fiber intake, let me tell you, things have been lively!”
- “Could you point me to your ‘plus size’ section? I seem to need it more than I thought.”
- “I’ll take a gin and tonic with a twist of lime, please.”
- “Are you as heartbroken as I am about Zayn ditching One Direction?”
- “Looks like someone’s late on their electric bill again!”
- “LOL! Talk to you later!”
- “Can you crank up the music? I can’t feel the bass in my left kidney!”
- “Why are you hovering over me?”
- “Any chance you sell some over-the-top cologne? I’m in the market!”
- “So, where are your mom jeans located?”
- “Aren’t you going to check my ID? I mean, come on!”
- “Does this hoodie come in sizes for actual adults, or is it just for toddlers?”
- “I’d love to linger, but I left my guide dog at home.”
- “Wow, you’ve got some funky swag in here, for real!”
- “Did you see last night’s episode of Downton Abbey? Things are getting wild!”
- “Want me to help you fold those shirts? That stack looks like a tornado hit it!”
- “Sorry, but I’m already taken.”
- “ACTIVIAAAAAA!”
- “What’s your pick: Toyota Sienna or Honda Odyssey?”
- “If I could turn back time… If I could find a way!”
- “1996 called; it wants its flannel shirt back… oh wait, never mind.”
- “Hold on, I’m just looking for my Groupon. It’s around here somewhere.”
- “I think I might have hooked up with your dad back in high school. Or maybe we just got drunk? I can’t quite recall.”
- “Did you mean, ‘What’s up?’ Because ‘That’s what she said!’”
