the funniest thing a client has ever said to me...

so for a little background...

i have a client, who we will call Jenny, who i've worked with for quite a while. i work in a shelter for victims of domestic violence and she's stayed here before. now she lives on her own in an apartment but i still help her out with case management and counseling. she has experienced abuse (physical, verbal and sexual) her whole entire life, beginning when she was just a young girl. she was very sheltered, to say the least, from the world. therefore, she really doesn't have much common sense, experience, sound judgment, or reasoning skills. it's definitely a challenge everyday with her.

but recently she met her neighbor (a twenty-something male) who helps her out a lot, as does his mother. we'll call him Mr. Mark. and no, nothing sexual or relationship here. just a good citizen. she's been wanting me to meet him for a long time and when i took her home the other day he was outside. i stayed in the car but she still introduced us so i waived hi from the car, drove off and went back to work. well, the next day she was at the shelter taking care of some business and i was going to take her home again. on the way out to the car this is what she said to me...

Jenny: "Miss Ashley, yesterday after you left, Mr. Mark told me you were hot. I told him you had the AC on in your car though. And he just laughed at me. I don't know why!?!?!"

Me: "Ohhhh Jenny, he probably just misunderstood what you said. Don't worry about it!"

the end :)
