Mad foods!

Overheard at the farmers' market on Saturday:


"Dude, we can get mad natural foods for the apartment here!"

How does it feel?

Overheard after the Bob Dylan concert:
"He didn't play that Tangerine one. Or the one that goes "How does it feel?" or did he? I don't remember hearing that "How does it feel" one."

Family ties

Woman on cellphone: "Going back and forth from daddy to daddy? At least we had that, she's not even going to have a daddy. She's stupid, I want to punch her in the face."

Rodent knowledge

Girl on phone, in the hallway: "You don't know what a gerbil is?"

Career prospects

Overheard at Ithaca dinner table:

Dad to 3 year old: "If you don't eat your meat, you'll be a vegetarian
and you'll have to start eating more beans and tofu.
3 year old: "But Daddy, I don't want to be a vegetarian!  I want to be
a storm chaser in the spring and summer and a flower scientist in the
fall and winter!"
-Janelle

Helpful hints

Woman at pet store: "Everyone who goes by, I imagine giving them a virtual makeover. Like she needs a bra with more lift, hoist the girls in the air, and he definitely needs to get rid of those high water pants."

Search for the missing word

At the gym. Woman walking on the treadmill to man walking on the treadmill next to her.
Woman: "They have a big new stage, a promethian stage, a prisinthiam stage."

High aspirations?

Woman on the Commons: "In my next life I will wear more socks."

More holiday spirit

Girl, in the blinking, blinding Christmas lighting display area of the big box store: "This is the seizure section of Lowe's."

That sinking holiday feeling

Teen girl: "Christmas is such a great idea, so poorly executed."

Still white?

Girl: "I saw this guy in the library, and he was wearing white pants and he looked kind of cool and interesting. And then I saw him the next day and he was wearing the same thing. And then the next day he was wearing the same thing. And I didn't even want to think about it."

No respect

Girl at the mall: " And he says 'this place reminds me of my grandmother' and I'm like how come? And he says 'Cause it's totally dead.' I couldn't believe it."

Which came first, the chicken or the ....?

Vegetarian girl: "What does chicken taste like?"
Dad: "It tastes like tofu."

Naptime

Five year old boy: "Yeah, I'm a vegetarian too! I sleep in the winter!"

They feel the same way about you

Teen boy: "I love amphibians! They are so adorable!"

Just checking

Small boy to a woman, presumably his mother.
Boy: "I'm the best in the whole world. You know that, right?"

Lost in translation

A small chirping noise. A woman looks at her cellphone.
Woman: "My phone and I don't speak the same language, I never know what it's trying  to tell me."

It all evens out

Girl: "I feel like shit but my shoes are beautiful."

Mice

Girl: "Did you know in Agway the pet mouse food is one aisle away from the D-Con mouse poison?"
