Overheard...

Sitting in the waiting room at the dentist yesterday. Old, no make that REALLY old, man sitting across from me. Receptionist comes over to explain that he needs to have two teeth removed and that she can drive him home and pick him up again tomorrow to have them taken care of. Is that ok, she asks. He appears to have either not heard her or is sleeping. Then suddenly picks up his head and declares, "GOD DAMMIT!" Then looks at me and says, "Honey, stay young and pretty. I'm 102 and getting old stinks. DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT!"

And that's what happens when you live to be 102. You get super grumpy and are allowed to say bad words at the dentist. Shoot, I'd be happy to still have teeth at 102.

Overheard

Walking through a clothing store- little boy points to a pair of very expensive distressed jeans and in a very I'm-telling-on-you voice exclaims, "Oh no! Look dad, these jeans have grass stains on them already!"

Ah, the innocence and purity of children. Just wait. In time that same little boy is going to be ogling a nice $200 pair of "grass stained" jeans.

I'll set the scene: Taki playing with the baby on the floor. He's playing peek-a-boo with her stuffed bunny when he breaks out into song....

"Here comes Peanut Butter..."
"Here comes Peanut Cotton"
"Oh! Here comes Peter Cotton Tail hopping down the hmhm hm"

HAHAHAHA.
