Silence…
On a date at the age of 24, I have found myself in an adult version of The Quiet Game while somehow keeping it flirty and non-awkward.

While Watching Fireworks…
A mother to her son who was fidgeting on the lawn while watching a fireworks display…
“Turn around! Your eyes can see better when they aren’t upside-down!”
From a Gay Rights Rally…
I attended a recent rally here in Salt Lake City regarding the California Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Prop 8. As our group of hundreds of men, women and children marched through downtown I noticed a couple sitting along the sidewalk. They were dressed in a slightly goth/emo style and talked to each other in that disaffected, bored tone only slightly goth/emo people or the outrageously rich can muster:
Goth girl: What is this…
Goth guy: Looks like some sort of gay rights *shrug* thing…
Goth girl: I wonder if your mom is in there…
Goth guy: Maybe… *shrug*
Another From Target…
A short conversation over the walkie-talkies between employees:
Guy: Shannon?
Girl (presumably Shannon): Go ahead.
Guy: Umm, yeaaah… We’re going to need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday… Yeah, that would be great.
Shannon: Um, yeaaah… Mm’okay.
At Target…
A woman with a slight New York accent, accompanied by her two kids and husband in the clothing department, had this to say about some accessory on the rack:
“It’s so Jackie Onassis, it’s amazing! Michelle [Obama] could be wearing this to the inauguration, you NEVER KNOW! I have to have this!”
