Overheard

Overheard as I was walking out of Florence Mall in Florence, KY this afternoon (note - Florence is a few miles before Cincinnati; still part of the Ohio Valley).  Let me set this up - a woman that appeared to be a few years younger than me, was coming out of the mall at the same time as I was, and she had bought a new suitcase on wheels and was wheeling it out. She was talking to someone on her cell phone.  And I quote:

"Kentucky sure ain't nothing like San Francisco.  It's damn hot." 

I wanted to tell her "Honey, if you think today or this week in northern Kentucky is hot when the high it got to this week was upper 70's, and a few days were even in the 60's, you would not last a day here in July or August."

Overheard at the store, and I quote:

"You ain't shit." 

Overheard At The Store

I was running errands this morning, and was at our local shopping center getting ready to enter into one of our favorite stores, "Everything's A Deal".  In front of the store, a local church was having a huge bake sale to raise money for a mission trip for their youth group.  Let me state right now that there were signs everywhere, and there were also baked goods of all sorts filling up three tables. 

A woman walked up to the bake sale, and after about thirty seconds of looking at the tables full of baked goods, said "What are y'all selling?" 

Hand to heaven.

A woman a little older than I am was parked next to me at the store parking lot.  She had three grandchildren with her, two walking and one in a baby carrier.  As she was getting the baby into the car seat, the other kids apparently thought she was taking a bit too long and they started crying.  I witnessed this ordeal because she had the door to her car still open as she was getting the baby settled and I had to wait till she was finished and close her door before I could open my door.  Anyhoo, the grandmother was just over it all.  One of the crying kids said "I want a drink."  Grandma quickly replied "So does Nana."

Let me preface by saying this was overheard as I was walking through the shopping center headed to the library.  It was spoken by a young mother to her young daughter as they were walking out of the library, obviously very disgruntled.  And I quote:

"It used to be the Louisville free public liberry."

And I quote, "Well shit. You know I ain't never calling her no more." 

Nuff said.

Overheard at the soft drink aisle at Krogers this morning from a mother and her young teenage daughter.

Daughter: What does ginger ale taste like?
Mother: Ginger ale
