I had an interesting phone call on Friday. First of all, I have an ad on KSL.com for piano lessons. Great site to place ads cause they're free! Anyways, I'm in Roberts on Friday looking for black paint, I have all 3 kids with me which I don't usually do and I get a phone call. It goes like this:
him: Hi, I'm looking for someone to teach piano for a couples group we have."
me: Okay. When are you needing the lesson?
him: tomorrow night (this last Saturday). We are a group that gets together once a month and we like to have different types of classes.
me: (after thinking about it) It's pretty short notice and I can't tomorrow night. I'm sorry.
him: Do you know anyone else who might be interested in teaching us?
me: (I give him a number of another friend)
him: If I can't reach her, do you think you might be able to try it in Dec or Jan?
me: Possibly. But, tell me more about this. What is the age group?
him: We have people in their 20's, 30's, 40's. About 15 couples. (I'm thinking that's a lot of people to teach one piano lesson to. Not sure it's worth it.) It's a different kind of group, though.
me: okay. What do you mean?
him: (he hesitates for a couple seconds) We're a 'swingers' group.
me: (I'm first thinking about swing dancing and wondering why they want a piano lesson) What's a swingers group? (yep, I honestly have no clue what this is!)
him: (more hesitation)well, we're kind of like a nudist group.
me: (Excuse Me!?) Uh.........okay. (This weird feeling starts to creep in)
him: we get together and have dinner, have a lesson of some sort, play group games, then play couples games.
me: (By this point, I can't find the stupid black acrylic paint, Sara is crying, the boys are getting in the way of other people, and I'm sure the other people are listening in on my end of the conversation and a guy is talking to me on the phone about a nudist group that's wants a piano lesson. I was so flustered! I had no idea what to say to him!) I don't know.
him: You and your husband are both invited to come.
me: Well, I need to go. Try my friend first then check back and I'll let you know. (I wanted to see what my friend was going to say!)
He didn't get a hold of her cause he tried to call me back. I couldn't bring myself to answer the phone again. But, I had to find out what this 'swingers' group is which I did a bit later! Oh my! I feel a bit silly for not knowing what this is. I'd never heard that term before. Basically, it's a group that gets together and does more than hang out in the nude. Know what i mean?? So the group 'games' and couples 'games'.....yep, probably what you're thinking. I've heard of those kind of groups, just not the terminology. I heard that some of these groups put their car keys into a bowl and mix them up, then draw and that's who you're with for the night. Ugh! I've had a few conversations with family and friends about this now.
So why do they want a piano lesson? I figured that they're just looking for more people to join. I was so disgusted! How can people do things like that!?! And groups like these have been going on since the 60's. I know things like that are happening all over the place, I'd just rather not be reminded about it. But, when I actually get invited to one, it's a bit disturbing.
So if he calls me back, I know what I'm going to say!

Oh Kimberly, I was thinking about this after last night and I don't know what I would have said either.. and I have heard the term. It was probably better that you had never heard the term. :)
Oh my goodness!!!That is so crazy! I want to know what you are going to say to them if he calls back! I cannot imagine a phone call like that!
I can't imagine getting that call! What were they thinking?? I can't believe that random people offering lessons would agree to that. . . I can't imagine they get many takers! WIERD!!! (that's gotta be the strangest story I've heard in a long time, though!)
I still can't believe it! It grosses me out so much! That is the Devil's group if you ask me.
If it makes me you feel better. I've never heard the term!
Oh Kimberly, I'm sorry but this post made me laugh so hard. I can't believe a bunch of swingers really wanted you to come and teach them how to play the piano, that's just so bizarre and random (and really gross).
That is so funny... sorry i dont mean to laugh but yeah... it is. I love you though. i prob would have said the same thing!
Holy Cow! You are brave! I probably would have called him a pervert and then hung up on him!
Oh my! I can just imagine sweet Kimberly getting such a phone call. How bizarre.... What a weirdo man.
