Things Overheard Yesterday

[Teresa]

"When you're hurting emotionally, what do you do?  You vomit it onto other people."

 

"I'm afraid that if I don't get rid of this stress, my cancer will come back."

 

"He's big for an eight year old, and in a couple of years he'll be even bigger, and if we don't get some help controlling his rage, I know he'll try to kill me."

 

"If we couldn't laugh we'd all go insane."

 

"My water just broke."

[Carolyn]

Is it a challenge?

I would love to start a challenge like this, have each of us collect snippets for an entire week and post the best six.  It's a great writing exercise.  You crack me up, Stephen.

[Stephen Torelli]

"A half a pound of baloney and a quarter pound of cheese and you can throw some chopped meat in with that." I just overheard that at the corner store and couldn't stop laughing but I don't know why.

@Angela ~ Oh my.  I travel around town a lot, around more than one town actually, and I'm always listening.  That last one was hilarious.  The woman walked in, way pregnant, said she was due June 5th, then walked away from the group.  The next thing we knew, she was running out of the room -- running, her giant belly in the lead.  It was fun to be there when the baby decided it was time.  The other conversations weren't so hilarious.  There are lots of sixes in them, but I think I'll leave them alone.

Lord, where on earth do you hang out?

[Mike Handley]

Interesting, especially the last one (in this context). I'll steal and use this format one day.
