Overheard this morning at the Village Inn.
A woman said to her children, “Do you want bananas or fruit?”
“Mom,” said the youngest, “bananas are fruit.”
“I know. Which one do you want?”
Neither child answers.
The mother tries again. “Okay, they have bananas, fruit, and strawberries.”

Ha! Love the tact of the children. I suspect they have had similiar conversations with their mother before.
That’s great eavesdropping! ha ha.
This reminds me of the scene in one of Michael Moore’s documentaries (was it “Roger & Me”?) where a woman is standing in front of her home with some rabbis, calling, “Pets or meat, pets of meat?”
Great ear.
I love this. Wonder what she’d do if they just said “yes.”
SBW, it’s because of you I took the time to note this bit of conversation. You overhear the greatest lines.
Sometimes I think the whole world is reading some wacky script and I am walking around on a stage among the characters, stealing lines from the playwright.
Great lines are everywhere. Thank goodness!
I plead Over 50!
LOL I have seen this!
