Overheard in Brighton.

Sunday, April 15th, 2007

Overheard on the way to the beach today:

Mother to child: “What do you want to eat: sausage, chips or pizza?”

Nice to know kids are getting well-rounded meal options these days.

Also overheard on the way to the beach:

Woman on cell phone: “It’s not really funny, I know, but it’s like, yeah, I’m getting divorced and my husband doesn’t know about it yet.”

I can only imagine what was going on there.

That’s awesome. Reminds me of an English woman we overheard when we were in Turkey. She had a 10 month old (or so) baby who was sucking down on a Fanta bottle - she said to the waiter "and can I get some chips for the baby?".

If it was being fed chips and fanta at 10 months, I’d hate to see the baby when it’s 10 or so…

My favourite one this weekend was one I overheard while I was in Portsmouth on Saturday. There was an older guy (about 19 - 20) with two younger kids talking about how one was smarter than the other because she was in class 9A but the younger was in 8U (man, year groups are large now, eh?) - and the kid protested "No! I’m in T now!" only for the adult of the group to respond "Yeah, but T’s the 28th letter of the alphabet!"
