Yes, another one. I had a woman in my office yesterday who had some questions about her will and powers of attorney. No problem.
She starts asking me about my life. I try to be conversational, because it's all about building relationships. Then she comes up with this: "Well, why did you become a lawyer? I mean, did you marry a lawyer?"
Huh?
First of all, I'm not married. I wasn't wearing a ring and we had been sitting across my desk from each other for half an hour, so I'm not sure why she thought I was. Second (and seemingly obviously), you don't become a lawyer by marrying one! What the heck does that question even mean?
I wasn't sure where to go with it, so I just said, "No, I'm not married."
On the plus side, at least she didn't proceed to draw me a picture of my future wedding dress.
sigh...
