overheard in North Portland
I’ve been hearing way too much lately with the warm weather and all our windows open. For example, this, last night, about twenty times in a row:
Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you, Jesus.
Or…
Kid: You’re mean.
Her dad: Why?
Kid: JUST BECAUSE!!!
And then there are Drunk Guys, Figuring Out Their Problems:
1st Guy: Then she just goes and disappears on me! For a whole day!
2nd Guy: Huh.
1st Guy: And she’s all, turning up pregnant and shit. And I’m all, I’m out of here.
2nd Guy: So what you are doing here is setting the record straight.
1st Guy: Right! Cuz I don’t even know if it’s my kid!
2nd Guy: Uh-huh.
Dang, I thought I had problems! I’m good, thanks.
