OVERHEARD-Movie Theater
As we were exiting the movie UP:
Father to small boy, “What’s that in your hand?”
Boy to father, “Look! Squirrel!”
It’s only funny if you saw the movie. Then it’s really funny!

OVERHEARD-Denny’s
Mom, who works at Denny’s, treating two of her three adorable children to dinner and then Toys ‘R Us for a ten dollar game.
Waitress to mother, “Oh, I’ve never met Oldest Son. Who does he look like?”
Daughter pipes up, “He looks like TI. TI’s in locked up for a year and a day.”
Oh my.
Then the waitress asks where the other daughter is.
Mom, “She’s home with Grandpa. She wrote her entire name on the mini blinds with marker and lied about it. I told her if she was gonna lie – write somebody else’s name.”
After the waitress left, the son was telling his mother about his music teacher, “who’s an old lady with beautiful hair-like her.”
Pointing to me.
OVERHEARD-Hair Salon
Getting my hair done when a little old lady walks in booming, “You told me to grow my hair out! Well, I grew it out and it looks like s__! I went all over Europe looking like s___!
Oh my.
Her stylist, completely not-pulsed, ” You’re fine. Sit yourself down and let me take that.”
“You be careful with that! I got it in Europe. It was over $9,000!”
Teensie, my stylist and I lock eyes in the mirror and get the giggles.
Her stylist, not missing a beat, “Nine THOUSAND dollars? Then I’ll sell it. Coffee or Coke?”
“What is it?”, I hiss, envisioning a rock-star Birkin in a color I have never seen before.
“Short, black leather jacket.” Teensie whispers.
I whip around and quickly back again.
“That’s no $9,000 jacket!”
Big brown eyes meeting mine in the mirror, “Maybe it’s a magic jacket.”
Very unladylike snorting of coffee.
LOL=little old ladies. God bless ’em.
