Over heard gems
I am in a creative writing group and our next assignment is to recall an interesting conversation which you were unable to avoid over hearing. It may have been on a bus, in LIDL or at the park.This isnt exactly something overheard, but it happened one summer at a balloon festival.
NUrse Gillian and myself had just enjoyed two lovely pints of GUINNESS & afterwards watched some balloons go over head, including a very large GUINNESS balloon
SIlence and awe
Over the silence a loud little girls voice (OUR little girl) shouted
" LOOK mum, GUINNESS, you drink lots of that, lots & lots of it,don't you mum"
THe crowd went silent, then hooted with laughter
over to you

Kids, they are so honest.I know I have a weird sense of humour and this might not be funny to you but I was doubled up with laughter when I first saw it on TV years ago.
The child was about 4 years old and was sitting on her Mothers knee while being interviewed, the reporter asked the woman why her husband couldn’t be home with the family for the interview and the Mother said it wasn’t possible as “Daddy” was working on the oil rigs in the North Sea, the child looked disgustedly up at her Mother and says “No he isn’t Mommy!, Daddy’s in jail”

Many years ago I was out with my sister and her small daughter in a store. Daughter came running over to her mum pulling on her coat. "Come over her mummy, quick!" We followed her over to a very fat woman stood. In a loud voice daughter shouted "ISN'T THIS LADY UGLY?"

I remember going to the ante-natal clinic with my SIL when she was very pregnant with her second child. We took number one son, then aged 2yrs, with us. The clinic was very full and everyone smiled sweetly as he stroked her stomach and said "There's a baby in there". He processed around the waiting room - happily stroking stomachs - and repeating "There's a baby in there." Lots of "Ah - isn't he sweet?"Until he reached the last woman.
Gently he stroked her stomach - "There's a baby in there" he said - then patted her hard in the bust and added "And that's baby's coffee, isn't it Mummy?" !!!
