Overheard in public places
1. A couple and their teen daughter were walking toward me. Mother is recounting a story. Teen gets distracted by an ice cream place, husband trails behind. Mother exasperated to me:" This one walks off in one direction that one in another. Who the hell am I telling my story to?"
2. Couple is walking their young Labrador in the evening. Dog let's out a deep bark and starts going after something. Her:"We are the only couple with a dog who barks at a shoe."
3. Sitting on the patio of a restaurant. Guest next to me asks the waiter: "Do you have any dessert?" Waiter comes back with the menu. What is this?
It's cashew paste with mint cream, says the waiter. Guest makes a face" Do you have anything else?" No.
Guest: It's like Russia. You have a choice, but there is only one.
4. Sitting in a park with a playground. Father brings in his toddler. She starts wobble running toward the playground. Father: "OK, honey amuse yourself. I'll come pick you up in two hours."
