Overheard Conversations, Week 3

Don’t Run

 

Woman: Bending down and wagging her finger at the children running by. This is where the cars go in an out so you need to be careful here!

 

Daughter: Not listening, cheerfully crying to other children. I won, I won!

 

 

Superbowl Bound

 

Man #1: Eyes squinting, a roguish grin on his face. We’re gonna see you guys in the Superbowl baby!

 

Man #2: Nodding, a similar drunken expression on his face. That’s right man, we’ll see you there. I like our odds though.

 

Man #1: Shaking his head. I’m not overlooking Brady man, trust me, but it’s gonna feel soooo good when Foles beats his ass.

 

 

Vague Connections

 

Woman: Stirring her drink. Yeah my boyfriend is a Patriots fan too. He’s all about the Boston teams.

 

Man: Smiling and nodding. Good man, good man. It’s the best city in sports.

 

 

Too Much Sauce

 

Man #1: Bent over the back of a bar chair, a downcast expression on his face. It’s bullshit man, I just wanted to chill and grab a drink. She’s all over me, it’s annoying as fuck.

 

Man #2: Putting his drink down and patting MAN #1 on the shoulder. That sucks bro, she’s hammered. Gesturing over to another part of the room. Just look at her over there.

 

Man #1: Grabbing the chair he was leaning over and picking it up. I’m gonna head home.

 

 

Finding Spinach

 

Man: Looking around, finger on lips. He points. I think the spinach is over there.

 

Woman: Gesturing at the vegetable section in front of them. No, it must be over here, all the other types of lettuce are over here.

 

Man: I think they only sell spinach in the pre-packaged containers though. Pointing again. See, there’s some over there.

 

Woman: Ah, you’re right.
