Overheard

(I admit I have not kept up with writing a new post each day about Christmas.... Projects, papers, research, and finals have gotten in the way.)

For a little comic relief today, I thought I'd share some interesting things I overheard people say.

Community College student bragging to his two friends:
"I can write a two page paper whil on heroin and still get an A!"

Young twenty-something offers confessional to his friends (not the people he needs to confess too):
"I still feel bad about lying to my parents about the car. Telling them it was a hit and run is giving them problems with the insurance company."

Another highly ambitious college student:
"I can't believe I have to write a nine page paper! Bachelor degree programs are tough!"
How about a thirty or forty page paper for your BA? That was my experience.

Female student on cellphone: "You went to the mall without me, you filthy hoe?"
Her male companion: "That's not how you talk to your mom!"

And, I saved the best for last. I got up from my lunch table to discard my trash. I am pregnant. As I was coming back, I heard one of the young men sitting at a table in front of me say,
"Pregnant chicks are hot. You have to handle them with potholders."
Unfortuantely, by "hot" he probably meant "bitchy/crazy" because earlier I had given him and the people he sat with dirty looks based on their use of language throughout my meal.
