Why didn't you tell me there was someone pulling out of the parking spot on your side
I did tell you
No you didn't
Well I thought it really loud
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I told you to stay in the car, there is a lot of money in that car and you know the locks don't work and the window won't roll up....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Where did we leave the car?
Next to that blue truck that was backing out (of the parking spot ) as we were pulling in
I don't see a blue truck anywhere....
(Gee, you think maybe the people in the blue truck would have the courtesy to wait until you're done shopping before they leave so you can find your car again when you're done shopping)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you don't behave, I'm going to tell Santa
Mom, my birthday is before Christmas
Oh you lost your birthday present the day you decided to wash the cat.....
(I wonder how bad washing a cat could be that the poor kid lost his bday gift over it? I really wanted to get her to explain that one but Ken wouldn't let me)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Its not like we hang out in the Target parking lot, people were just talking WAY too loud last night. Ok, I confess, the first conversation was between Ken and I :-)
Oh man, I love hearing snippets of peoples conversations. You could just string them all together and make such an awesome story. I think that thats how they must have gotten all those episodes for Seinfeld:)
ReplyDeleteI love this as well...and often steal the lines to use for writing exercises.
ReplyDeleteI make them the opening line and write for as long as I can.

Some people are people watchers.... I find myself being a people "overhearer" (I just totally made up that word) I love to listen to people's interactions through conversation...
ReplyDeleteOh, inadvertent eavesdropping can make for fascinating writing exercises. I was writing in my journal at a coffeshop once, and wrote down the following snippet:
ReplyDelete'And your mother still thinks it's a cricket game.'
I have /no/ idea what that means. I remember it because I spent some time trying to figure out what the heck he was talking about.
I agree with Sagan, this is probably how Seinfeld got his start!
Thanks for the chuckle. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, cute!
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! That's the next best thing to peoplewatching.. It's people listening!
ReplyDeleteIt is hilarious listening to other people, it makes me feel normal again! :) Last night over dinner the people 2 tables from us were havinga conversation everyone could hear... and no one should have. LOL! :)
ReplyDeleteHehe, having several sons myself, I totally relate to the cat-washing comment :)
ReplyDeleteLOL!! YOU crack me up!! When I read the first one I thought 'oh yeah. That would so be Matt and I'. hehe.
ReplyDeleteDon’t you love overhearing conversations, and wondering what goes on after you can’t hear it any more?
ReplyDeleteFun post, Diana - thanks!
