Three things overheard over the past few weeks

1) After buying some books from Half-Price Books (one of my favorite places) the sales clerk asked if I needed a bag. And because I've b(eco)me (eco)nomical I said no, and she answered: "Groovy."
I wasn't aware people still said Groovy.

2) I didn't hear this one, but my girlfriends goddaughter, told us the story. She is in kindergarten, and was riding home on the bus, wearing a new pink leopard print jacket and a boy on her bus said: "I like your jacket. If I was a girl, and sometimes I wish I was, I would like a jacket like that."
Evidently, I’m not aware of a lot of things.

3) We were sitting outside the new I-Hop in Robinson (that's right, International House of Pancakes finally in the Pittsburgh area) waiting for the pancake goodness, when a family exited the restaurant. A boy no more than 7 holding his father's hand said as he passed by: "My taste buds just shot straight to heaven."
I-Hop should pick that up as their new slogan.
It would be Groovy. And if I was a pancake, and sometimes I wish I was, I would want to send taste buds to heaven.

Keep your ears open.
Peace
