overheard

I overhear a lot of things at work. Two yesterday:

4-ish year old boy walks into the ladies room with his mom and announces, "I am a man. This place is for girls."

Thing two: There's a new exhibit that involves being able to talk on paper cup and string telephones across the musuem. I saw a dad and his 15-ish year old daughter talking on them. You have to kind of yell into them because, gee, sound really doesn't transmit all that well on string, so I heard the dad shouting into the paper cup, "I LOVE YOU TOO. WHAT? I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" It's funny and touching to hear intimate words shouted into a paper cup.
