Liver Spots, Bitches

Today at Panera Bread many people are talking on their phones very loudly. While I ate my egg sandwich, I learned that the man next to me is having his liver spots burned off, and that the lady across the room knows a lot of bitches. REALLY a lot of bitches. An inordinate amount, it seems.

Maybe I will start keeping a super secret spy notebook of all the cell phone details I gather during the day. First I will need a super secret spy notebook. Maybe I will draw an ear on it.

Ew. That's quite a thing to learn about someone while eating. My favorite, however, is the parents who come to pick up their toddlers from school with their phone glued to their head. That always makes me so sad.

Meg said...

Harriet.

Mouse said...

Harriet! Yay!

Rachel said...

Meg and Mouse, that was my first thought too! Harriet is my idol.
I almost started a little book once, with all the weird conversations you hear while eating. I love them, for some reason.

You have just become my Harriet the Spy. And while I realize all of the other cool people said it first, I did think of it before I clicked on comments.

Oh, and I stole your dreamy music video from Oren Lavie, andplusalso, I love your postings.

Amanda said...

Um. I've somehow never read Harriet the Spy. I'm going to the library right this minute.

Emily said...

it really is funny the things you overhear people talk about (all of which seem to be completely inappropriate to discuss while at lunch). love your blog...would you like to trade links?

Cate Subrosa said...

You're hilarious.
