Cute, I love the make up of that conversation. It's interesting what happens when you eavesdrop on people. When I was in college I actually had to do it for an assignment in one of my communications classes. In a sort of fun/ sort of creepy way this makes me want to go out, sit in a corner, and listen to other people.

Hahahaha I just came across your blog by accident and I'm glad I did; this post is hilarious. Definitely gonna start telling people how looooovely the gravy and warm dessert are. Yes, they'll look at me like I'm crazy and just frown before carrying me off to the psych ward, but totally worth it to see their expressions.

I'd have almost certainly wound up laughing loudly. It's hard for me to not--it's not that I'm mean or ridiculing, just that I really enjoy this sort of thing. People are amazing, they're great, and they make me laugh.

They're loooovely that way!
