Give me some dialogue from your day

[Chris S]

A member of staff in a charity shop to her colleague: "Come and look at this. You'll love it"
Her colleague, looking into a display box of jewellery: "Oh, it's hideous, isn't it?"

They asked me to take a look. Me: "Oh I had one of those, it was my grandma's".

They were horrified by it - a rabbit's foot brooch. I remember lots of ladies of a certain generation wearing them attached to their best coat.

Here's a photo of my grandma wearing a dead fox around her neck.

We had grandma's fox fur too. My brother & I fought over it one day and it lost its tail.

I think it may have been a hare as opposed to rabbit foot - supposed to bring good luck.

Oh, we've always called them rabbit. Not lucky for the rabbit or hare whichever it is.

Like.my grandson who when looking at a dead snake in front of him, solemnly said..
'I'm sure it's in a better place now'

In my head i uttered..
'not sure the snake would agree with you'

Went for a run this afternoon, and overtook a mum and her maybe 4yo on the way home.

4yo says "I can beat you" and sprints off, way faster than my plodding pace. He stops ahead at a fork in the path, turns, and states, entirely matter-of-factly and without malice:

"You're *so* slow!!"

I high fived the young scallywag and plodded off home.

 

[Drago]

"Bloody hell. It looks like the council did that with a knife and fork."

My sister: "You know that over the past 5 years they had finally finished repairing the awful potholes on the roads that you cycle on round here**?"

Me: "Yes - my last holiday at yours was the first one during which I barely had to play 'dodge the crater'"

Sis: "Unfortunately, it is back to square one - the recent flooding has ripped up the local roads. Car drivers are wrecking their wheels when they can't avoid the holes. You will have to be really careful on your bike!"

Oh, great!
