Overheard and Shout Outs

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?

“Just accidentally caressed a wasp nest for minutes and escaped unscathed.”

“I’m not a regular mom, I’m a cool mom.”

“I sure would like to have more teeth again.”

“That’s some white thigh right there.”

“The cafe shop worker has become attached to me.”

“Mandatory ‘Family Fun Day!’ was actually fun.”

“‘Apparently you can marry your first cousin in the state of Illinois if you’re both over 50.’ ‘I was wondering about that.’”

“Who needs Kenmore appliances when I got kids to clean dishes and clothes?”

“You need to freshen up your rug situation.”

SHOUT OUTS

Is there someone or something that deserves a pat on the back or a slap on the wrist?

“Shout out to Julie’s Park Café in Fish Creek. A boisterous ‘thank you’ from a bunch of ‘local yocals’ for our uber scrumptious breakfasts and awesome service! Yum – can’t wait to come back for more!” ~ Anonymous

“Shout out to all those over-helpful employees (you know who you are) at the Piggly Wiggly in Sister Bay for patiently helping out with all those (crazy) grocery orders!” ~ Anonymous
