Changing styles

Overheard at an (unnamed) Ithaca swimming hole:
Guy: "Dude, this water is cold."
Other Guy: "It's good for you, it'll put hair on your chest."
Guy: "Haven't you been watching the Olympics? I don't want hair on my chest."

Good old days

Girl to grandmother: " Granma, what was your ringtone growing up?"

Overheard not so clearly

Overheard at Frendlys in Ithaca
A daughter and her mother were eating lunch together and the daughter was eating fries. She looked up at the mom and said
Daughter: "You know what's really good?"
Mother: "What?"
Daughter: "Fries with a Jamocha Shake."
Mother: "Flying with mocha fish?"
Daughter: "No mom."

Old putty

Girl playing with the loose skin on her father's elbows: "I love elbow putty. It's one of the nice things about getting old."

Those were the days...

Measuring up

Pre-teen girls talking:
First girl: "You're going to get a bra? How do you even know what cup size you are?"
Second girl: "Cups? I don't even have any cups."

Even in our sleep...

Girl: "Last night I dreamed I had a high-speed Internet connection and I was watching videos on YouTube. It was a good dream."

At Borders

Two male (art?) students looking at Sculpture magazine: "This isn't art, they just twisted it around and turned it upside down and then made him take a sh*t."

Is there a public restroom theme emerging?

Overheard today outside the ladies room at Target, mom to preteen daughter:"Don't be a martyr. Just go in, already!"
