Deja Vu

Tommy asked me, "What's deja vu?"

I told him, "You haven't been enough
places once to think you've been there
twice."

More Conversation Snippets

Dutifully, I took SheWhoMustBeObeyed
to the mall for Christmas shopping. I
grabbed a chair in the shoe department
at Pennys and snoozed while she went
looking for stuff. I caught these two
random thoughts as crowds surged
around my zone of isolation.

Guy on a cell phone: "Anyway,
you can't fight with a retard."

Girl in a family group: "You
don't have to go out with your
pants zipped either."

Conversation Snippets

Sometimes you overhear just enough of
a private conversation in a public place
to have a very surreal experience.

Today, I was heading out of Barnes &
Noble when one of two women heading
in said to the other, "I know where underwear
goes, and they don't go in the refrigerator."

Very random.

Once while I was visiting my mom in the
nursing home, one of the female detainees
walked past and said to herself, "I feel
like the last rose." The image that popped
in my mind almost floored me.

Very powerful.
