Overheard in the Last Few Months
Sometimes I overhear odd things. I’ve been collecting these on Twitter.
-
“When the squirrel started crying his ears hurt.”
-
“…He looked exactly like me. And in a few days he was picked up by a private jet…”
-
First guy: “You’re like Superman flying backwards around the world.”
Second guy: “You’re like…”
First guy: “Shotgun!”
-
A mother to a whiny toddler: “You’re not being very rainbowy.”
-
In a bookstore, an older woman: “I’m looking for Farland.”
A younger woman, maybe her daughter: “Oh, you have to go by name?”
-
In the same bookstore, someone’s opinion of Neil Gaiman: “He’s a new writer… I’m not sure I like his style. It’s very harsh and now.”
-
In a different bookstore: “It’s not just a monkey book, it’s also about conservation.”
-
Husband (enthusiastically): “Do you like fried okra?”
Wife (sternly): “No, I do not.”
Husband (plaintively): “Why?”
-
Kid: You wanna buy coffee table books?
Other Kid: Let’s do it!
Younger Kid (confused): Coffee table?
