an exchange I saw at the coffee shop this morning

[scioscribe]

Female Friend: So my boyfriend was crazy last night.

Male Friend: Like how?

Female Friend: He got all angry and punched a door.

Male Friend: That’s not crazy.  That’s violent.

And that’s a real life quiet example of someone being awesomely unproblematic about mental illness.

That bruise is from a cymbal. I don’t even play cymbals, I play flute!!

A trembling man in a Jimi Hendrix sweatshirt calls his dog. On a phone, I mean—leaves a message with the speaker held away from his mouth like it’s a radio. “I’m coming home, Sonny! Did you eat your food? Did you drink your water? You be good! I’ll be home soon!”

"I do it every day," he explains to his seatmate, a blank-faced woman who didn’t ask. "So he knows I’ll be back."

(I’m reminded of this.)

Overheard at MARO:

(Two Starbucks employees are preparing drinks for a mob of loud, sparkly, tan children)

“A caramel macchiato for Erin?” “You’re going to have to be more specific, Dave. There are a lot of Erins here.”

-Overheard at a bookstore, children's section. Guy 2 is looking at horse books.-

Guy 1: Do you have a daughter?

Guy 2: Yeah.

G1: Yeah, I do too.

G1: They go horses, dance, and then boys.

-Guy 1 sighs heavily and stares at Guy 2 seriously-

G1: Keep her in horses as long as you can.

-Guy 1 walks away-

Overheard on the sidewalk tonight: "You know, you’re the only man in my life that flirts with me." "That’s because I’m honest. I like to say what is real."
