Overheard and Obsessions

OVERHEARD

Are there tid-bits of conversations you’ve heard while standing in line at the grocery store, serving a table, or walking down the sidewalk that make you smile, cringe or laugh out loud?

Bears fan: “Aw look at the poor kid on the cover of the Pulse wearing a Packers jersey. He should be wearing a Bears jersey.” Packers fan: “Yeah, with a skirt!”

“He looked so childlike with those adorable big ears.”

“Your sarcasm and truthfulness are blended.”

“You’re beginning to look like what you are.”

“It smelled like donuts and it was a really happy environment!”

“I hope this is a sign that I’ll end up meeting a surgeon’s hot son.”

“It’s the NFL, man – ‘No Fun League.’”

“We saw Mötley Crüe and Alice Cooper. There was so much blue eyeshadow, teased hair, and off-the-shoulder t-shirts, and that was just the boys.”

OBSESSIONS

Is there anything you can’t stop thinking about, listening to, watching, eating, or drinking? Obsessions are meant to be your of-the-moment fixation.
