I would have to agree with Connie, "Can they breath in there?" (Meaning the bonding pouch.) I generally say yes. But what I REALLY want to say is, " No, I'm hoping to kill the tiny creature I go through the trouble of carrying around with me in a special pouch! You know, I don't wanna miss the blessed event!" UGH! LOL! I've wanted to say something like that too!! This isn't annoying but from people who know me and that I have gliders, I get asked either, "Which one do you have today?", How many do you have today?" or "Do you have your sugar babies with you today?" This IS annoying....My daughter's mil calls them "those squirrel things!". Hmph! She should be so luck to have something so special to love her!

LOL I get that a LOT too! Like you said, from family and friends. My Aunt Lucille always has to search me and my cousin Mary over asking, "Do you have those "thangs" with yout???" My partner gets on me sometimes when we are getting ready to go somewhere, peeking in my purse and looking for a bonding pouch on my body, "You don't have babies with you, do you? I don't think they need to go to the _________." Insert into the blank space: grocery store, doctor, dentist, out to eat, Walmart. Where else do I go??? They can't stay home ALL the time! LOL

These are funny
I don't have too many annoying questions but I have a good story
I was at Lowes buying PVC and such, I had taken my twins pouch off and set it down in my purse so I wouldn't bump them
At check out the guy bumped the cart kind of hard and jostled my purse that was sitting in the baby seat
The girls started crabbing really loudly and the cashier asked me if that was my cell phone
I said yep and just laughed
Someday I'm going to record the crabbing and use it as a ringtone That is so funny!! I forgot until I read your post, but I had taken my male to work with me and he was under my desk ( in a hospital cage after his neuter) One of the drivers walked up to me to ask a question and accidently kicked the desk. When the glider started to crab the driver jumped about 2 ft off the ground.. he looked at me so puzzled and said " did you put and alarm on your desk" I giggled and said yep... I let him think I had an alarm " instaled" on my desk for 3 days... LMAO...

UGH! I actually started saying something similar to this! I simply answer, "No.". Then they look at me like I owe them money or ran over their puppy! I know it's not nice of me but, get REAL, people! If 'it' couldn't breathe, I wouldn't put 'it' in there! LOL!

I told my other friend he's a marsupial and he still call it a rodent because "It looks nothing like a kangaroo" are you serious? have you seen, I don't know, Koalas? They look nothing like kangaroos and no one is like Oh those aren't marsupials. *sigh*
Same here! I remind them of Koala Bears, Wallaby's, Wombats and Opossums! The pouch may be in front, the pouch may be in back but it's still a POUCH! LOL!

"Can they breath in there?" "No, I'm hoping to kill the tiny creature I go through the trouble of carrying around with me in a special pouch! You know, I don't wanna miss the blessed event!" IF i was not a glider persone that would not sound funny ... but from this side of the looking glass that is hysterical !!!! i have to say the that to avoid the what is a Marsupial part i just learned to dumb it down ... pouch animanls, like opossums, and kangaroos ...

I bring my to school once in a while. The children love'em. The parents some think they're great and some back away 'cause they think they are rodents. The children will tell them they are marsupials not rodents.
They constantly ask when they're coming back to visit. One asks everyday, "Where's Joey?" I tell her 'he's at home in the bathroom' and she makes a face and goes, 'yeeew!' and then laughs.
My coworks are half and half also. Some enjoy them some don't. To each his own I guess. Not everyone will see them the way we gliderists do.

I loved reading all these because most of them we've all heard at one time or another. I take mine to work all the time and when I have then in my shirt and they move people still get startled...it's too funny. You would think they would get used to it.
Jill, I loved your poem that is so true. I love their soft little bodies and their expressive faces. I love the little clicks and chirps they make when I give them mealies or when they are down my shirt grooming before they go snoozy. I love how they hide in my hair when they are scared or on my head when they are feeling brave...it's all too precious.

[quote=suggiemom_1980]Insert into the blank space: grocery store, doctor, dentist, out to eat, Walmart. Where else do I go??? They can't stay home ALL the time! LOL So true! I just got my bonding pouch last week, so I took the opportunity on Friday to take the gliders with me to the comic shop where hubbs plays Magic. He was a little put-off at first that I brought them, but then I handed him the pouch for a bit while I visited the restroom and he was so happy! He only gave them back because the guys got SUPER loud and even though the sugs were still being quiet, we didn't want them overloaded with noise and smells all at once.

I haven't really gotten any stupid questions but, the stupid remark I get when I tell people that my pair is going to have babies is that they will have babies every 20 sum odd days, like rodents. Super Frustrating!

Oh man, one of my Uncle's girlfriends was like. "Oh my god, I though it was some kind of monkey! Is that what it is?" Uh, I just wanted to set her on fire. The bad thing, she's like a really bad drunk. So when she talks, you can't always make out what she's saying, lol...

My mom's cousin comes to visit once in a while, and he always refers to them as rats- he also hates my dogs and my cat, and I have almost gotten out my nunchaku around him several times. He thinks that just because they are expensive for their size that they are a "lucrative business prospect," so even though he does not like them, he refers to them in the way you would a piece of expensive jewelry. It takes every ounce of my self control not to do something that HE will regret. lol
Stupidest question? "Are those like flyin' squirrels?" "The marsupial version. Yes." "Oh, can you eat it?" A stream of curses follows. Okay, usually I'm much more friendly than that. xD I'm only like that when they A) call them rats disdainfully (I have nothing against rats, but when they say that, it's usually a euphemism for "Pest"), B)Ask if I've ever eaten one, C) Say something else extremely rude or ignorant that I would not say about their child. What they don't understand is that my kids are better than theirs. xD My kids never talk back (in fact, none of my gliders crab, even), they never ask for money, they never tell me that they hate me even after giving them said money, I don't have to buy them a car or pay for their schooling, they never grow out of the cuddling stage, they're much, much cheaper, AND they're a thousand times sweeter and cleaner. Plus, whenever I get tired of my kids, I can just leave them in their room for hours without being accused of child abuse.... lol xD I don't see why I'd want to when they never start kicking or screaming, though.

Seeing as we take our gliders with us everywhere, I've kind of gotten tired of anwsering questions already, even though we've only had them 2 or 3 months. It's gotten to the point to where I just say "it's a cross between a flying squirrel and a fruit bat" to shut them up.

My Mother likes to call them rats and suggest they "carry diseases".
My sister came to visit me not too long ago. Dexter was sitting in my lap watching a movie with me and eating mealies. She comes in snarls up her nose and says, "Whats in the pouch?" I smile and say, "Dexter!" She sticks her hand inside the pouch and opens up the top. Poor Dexter looks up at her with those gorgeous eyes.
She kind of smirks and says, "Thats the ugliest #@$! thing I've ever seen." I politely inform her that I think hes cuter than all 3 of her children combined.

I tell people they are a marsupial from the Australia area. If they really want to know, I will give them more info, but usually that is enough.
I need to make out little cards, business card size, that has more specific information about them to hand out. If anyone has any good ideas of what all to put on the card, PM me.
