Overheard in A Gas Station

So, there is a website called Overheard in New York where people post random and amusing conversations they have overheard in New York City. Well, Bountiful isn't exactly New York but does give the opportunity to overhear funny exchanges.

Allow me to set the scene. I went in to the local gas station to get a soda while Julie and Holden waited in the car. While I'm filling up my soda, a mother and son walk up and the mother gets a drink beside me. Now, the mom is in her mid 40's and the son is probably 22. He's also wearing a Michael Jordan Bulls jersey with nothing underneath, sweat bands on his wrists, and "Ross Shorts" (which is a term Julie coined that refers to the oversized jean shorts, typically sold at Ross). I overhear the following exchange:

Son: Can I have this? (Holding up a pint of Ben & Jerry's)
Mother: No.
Son: It's only $2.89.
Mother: I only have a $10 bill. If we get that, then I won't have enough for cigarettes.

At this point I was walking up to pay for my drink, so the rest of the conversation was missed. However, I did spy the son leaving the gas station ice cream free. Rough day for him.

A Short But Sweet Post...

I figured I would add a quote of the day. So here it is...

"Here comes the fun cooker!"

Sorry for the lack of pictures.

Quote of the Day

I have noticed on blogs that people frequently post funny things their kids say. Since my kid is not funny using words yet, I cannot do this. Luckily, I have a husband who cracks me up daily.

Me (on any given day in winter): Reo, be careful not to slip, it's icy.

Reo (with an insulted look): Don't worry, I'm like Gordon Bombay. I was born on the ice.

This is probably only relevent and/or funny to those who know and love The Mighty Ducks movies..But since Reo and I do, it makes me laugh every time!

**If this post was NOT funny to you, and you would like it to be, just watch the first 15 minutes of the first Mighty Ducks movie. But I recommend you watch all three, because they are a golden piece of cinematic history.
