Overheard: Thrift store dressing room

Monday, May 19th, 2008

There was a young girl and her mom in a dressing room while I was perusing the clothes racks looking for some new summer tops.  The girl sounded like she was about 5 or 6 years old.

Girl: “That one is so pretty, Momma!  You should get it.”

Mom (sighing):  “Unfortunantly, it’s too big for me.”

Girl: “Maybe you could buy it now and grow into it next year.

Think like a Girl

I was out shopping for a few items for my upcoming trip when I overheard a woman in her mid 40’s talking to a guy in his mid 20’s.  They looked like a mother and son.  The two were out shopping for an Easter present for a girl.

The mom said, “Pretend you are a girl.  What would you like for Easter?”

Her son thought carefully about the question before shrugging his shoulders and saying, “A rifle.”

Happy Easter Y’all.
