Overheard this week

To my younger, more hip, relative as we walked along the ocean:

"Hey, check that out. The river otters are playing across the inlet."

"The River Otters? What band is that?"

"Uh, it's mother nature, not a Band."

****

Two friends sharing a futon: "Those are very special parts. Don't poke them."

****

Sandritia, on trying to decide what crackers to put out for an appitizer. "Digestives? It's the dessert cracker!"

****

Little LP, during a car ride home:

"Dad, can we go to 7-11 for a slurpee?"

"Maybe."

He then turned to his little sister and wispered "We're not going because maybe means NO!"
